A subject indicator is a resource that is intended by the topic map author to provide a positive, unambiguous indication of the identity of a subject.
A published subject indicator is therefore any resource that has been published in order to provide a positive, unambiguous indication of the identity of a subject for the purpose of facilitating topic map interchange and mergeability.

 Gottlob Frege [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Thus, Frege sought to create a language that would combine the tasks of what Leibniz called a "calculus ratiocinator" and "lingua characterica", that is, a logically perspicuous language in which logical relations and possible inferences would be clear and unambiguous.
It analyzed propositions in terms of subject and predicate concepts, which Frege found to be imprecise and antiquated.
Frege's brand of logical language was modeled upon the international language of arithmetic, and it replaced the subject/predicate style of logical analysis with the notions of function and argument.

This is not an invariant sign of poor logic (see this sentence as an example), but I do counsel caution every time this impulse is felt.
Be sure that 'This' refers to a clear and unambiguous subject of the previous sentence or group of sentences.
If ‘this’ gestures vaguely towards a host of complex ideas, be sure that it can legitimately hold them together, otherwise the logic wobbles and falls over.
