This is completely unwarranted - why should it be so? Here, its
purpose is to represent a (new) fact in relation to a single given
fact, but there may be other inferred objects based on combinations of
facts.

Not any stranger than Java which requires you to declare all classes
you are using. The Working Memory contains objects of Java classes.

This is in contrast to the way you are using it, i.e., passing a
reference to another object to the constructor.
BTW: You've missed an important point by using "insert" instead of
"insertLogical". See the "Drools Expert User Guide".
