Why do we need 4 words to describe a single term?

supportedOperation
    range hydra:Operation
An operation supported by instances of the specific Hydra class or the
target of the Hydra link

operation
    domain hydra:Resource
    range hydra:Operation
An operation supported by the Hydra resource

Operation
    subClassOf hydra:Resource
An operation.

Link
    subClassOf hydra:Resource, rdf:Property
The class of properties representing links.

For a human the following would be enough: when something is under the
supportedOperation property, than it is an operation, so it will
probably have method, expects, returns and statusCodes properties. Do
the machines really need 4 keywords to describe the same?
