Humans looking at documents and trying to understand a system do so in a very different way from machines. While what you suggest might be strictly true according to the way RDF and formal logic work, it isn't the way humans work (otherwise the strong AI project of the past half-century might have succeeded by now). So we should try arrange things in a way that is both consistent with what the machines want and as easy as possible for humans to understand. That Hugh, an expert in the domain, had trouble figuring it out due to poetic references to well known concepts suggests that there is some room for improvement.
