Why is reification assumed to be broken? I think the perception is that 
its cumbersome due to data bloat. Like blank nodes, this is a feature of 
RDF that's often misunderstood and then in the process maligned.

Reification is the powerful mechanism for granular descriptions of 
triples (statements) without exiting existing RDF semantics.
