[tdwg-tag] SPM: Is information about a SpeciesProfileModel also information about the underlying taxon?

I didn't notice that ( sometime in the summer(?), it became the case
that) a TaxonConcept has a property hasInformation with range
SpeciesProfileModel#InfoItem
Suppose that an SPM s is aboutTaxon t, and that s hasInformation i.
Nothing in the TDWG ontology seems to entail that t therefore hasInformation i.
In words: a SpeciesProfileModel about a TaxonConcept may have
information which need not be information about the TaxonConcept
This seems counter-intuitive to me. Can someone give me an example
from among the currently defined subclasses of InfoItem where it
would be reasonable for the SPM to have that InfoItem, but for it
not to be information about the taxon concept which that SPM is
about ?
