Its purpose there is to force a deterministic outcome from a paradoxical situation: the end of the game. Rule 14 suggests that the game does not end when somebody wins, so your Rule 5 does not fill that purpose. Incidentally, I note that Rule 14 says that the Speaker can change when somebody wins, but I see nothing stating how the Speaker should in that event (presumably the winner becomes Speaker). -root
