Good question indeed. The example is wrong. I think I did not take
into account that not only the rdf:_1, rdf:_2, ... replaced for ?x
lead to an entailed triples, but we also have
rdf:type rdf:type rdf:Property .
...
C2 only prohibits the infinitely many rdf:_1, rdf:_2, ... , but not
rdf:type for example.
Maybe we just remove that example?
