Realising those goals may lead to certain inferences that match what is defined in prov-constraints. These matches are artefacts of the design and are not derived from prov-constraints. In particular, the two inferences that are matched are because of the class hierarchies included to help organize the ontology.

Yes, I think this is reasonable. I included it in the response, and removed my complicated rules.
