That's what I'm trying to illustrate (I'm trying to jazz up the  
documentation at the moment). I found a nice example for A regulates B  
part of C ( => A regulates C), and I wanted to show that you couldn't  
make the same inference in the opposite direction. I think it will be  
easier for people to understand if there's a concrete example, but  
none of those examples from the ontology struck me as being  
immediately intuitive or obvious!
