Hoi,
That is exactly the point. Once you assume that they are the same you ignore the extend to which they are not. Many, many items have articles pointing to items resulting in labels that are not exactly the same subject.
Thanks,

Oh? Any why would that be?

We have stuff like
<de:Fuh> -->(means)--> Q12345
<eb:Foo> -->(means)--> Q12345

"Using SKOS" just says that -->(means)--> can be written as "skos:prefLabel"
(resp "skos:altLabel").

The requirement is that the labels in different languages refer to the same
concept. It does not mean they have the same connotations, or no other possibly
diverging meanings.
