I'm not sure I agree - as in "why is there a person/role object in
the first place? -> so I know who to call in case things need an
urgent resolution!".

And, calling people needs phone numbers...

So, I agree that the inconsistency between person: and role: does not
make much sense (I might see a role: object and want a phone number to
call...) - but the more fundamental question is "if that object is of no
use to a person looking for a point of contact, why have that object
there in the first place?"...
