Not necessarily.

repeat for each word theProp in "a b c"
   set the theProp of me to empty
end repeat

It's necessary to be able to refer to the property with a variable.

The problem is really that if you try to say

   set the "thisProp" of me to "that?

then "thisProp" does not resolve to the quoted contents.  If memory serves,
it's just an illegal value for a property name because it starts with a
quote.
