This is its main problem, it is two simple. Very often something more
than a triple is the most natural way to state something, e.g. the distance
between two things. One can always find awkward ways of changing a
naturally n-argument predicate into a set of triples, but it

Even for natural triples, it is hard to attach context and provenance to
them so that they are not lost when manipulations are performed. (03)
