I don't really like the term latent semantic analysis but that's about the only thing I disagree with in this paper. To me, this is an important paper, a spectacular find (thanks to a comment posted on the Semantic Web mailing list). Essentially, the author responds to the question of how we learn more than the information we receive apparently gives us grounds to learn through the use of inferences based on similarity. It is, in a word, my theory - well, of course, not my theory, but an almost exact match (but much more developed and supported) to the theory of cognition I developed in the early 90s, the theory I proposed to write a dissertation upon, the theory I have used to develop my own understanding of learning and cognition since then.
