a reified statement has intrinsically these 4 properties (property in the general meaning, not RDF's), and the arcs are the way RDF expresses properties !

This does not mean that implementation must keep those arcs explicit (I agree there are better ways of doing it), but it's true that M&S may be misleading about it.
