Re: An inconsistency or not?

Good point! You cannot say that my argument is invalid. I cannot say that 
your argument is invalid. In reference to section 5.2 of OWL Reference, OWL 
tools should assume in principle that 2 URI references (John and Johnny) 
either the same or different individuals is possible.
