>  - assertion in RM is the same as statement in RDF.

No. Assertions in RM are much more elementary than in RDF.
An assertion in RDF amounts to 28 or so assertions in the
RM. I am not sure about 28, it may be 15 or 35 (the RM
experts can tell us the exact number), but the fact is that 
the nature of the things that get asserted
is completely different.

What you say would be like saying the force that binds
2 atoms together is the same as the one that binds
2 planets. It's not the same force. One is called "strong"
the other is called "gravitational". In other words, there
is a fundamental difference of nature between the levels
you describe. Let's not mix these levels, please.
