I've never said that. If _you assert_ (somewhere, perhaps in a document you control) http://www.w3.org/ rdf:type some:Document . then we assume that _you_ believe this to be true (i.e. it is true in your context). Personally I'm inclined to believe things said by someone who controls the www.w3.org DNS entry (which is how I'd personally resolve such sorts of potential contradictions).
