Hi Jan! Yes, you are right (my example was bad regarding P31 instance of; I should have found a better example). But I think Cord understood the idea I was trying to explain. Your warning of using P31 correctly stems from the current constraints on P31, which are fairly clear, here's a few of them:
Multiple P31 claims lead to duplicate tuples Avoid P31 of P279 of Q5 (P106 or other properties should be created) Can't be instance of both human and occupation and tons of other usage and constraint rules on P31 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P31> to help keep things tidy and clean in Wikidata.
