Drew,

I'm not sure I understand all the the implications of your arguments
about reification.
What if I write

  (implies (is Reification Great) (likes Drew Reification) )

I do not use quoting here,
still the outer parenthesis seem to have a quite different meaning than
the inner parenthesis :
I do *not* assert anything about Reification being great nor you liking
it,
though I *do* assert the implication.

My understanding is that Triples do have the same "power" as the outer
parenthesis,
while reification only has the "power" of inner parenthesis.

  Pierre-Antoine
