The arguments are irrelevant in that regard. E was on trial for the appropriateness of eir judgement, not for the arguments e used to reach it. So if IRRELEVANT were ultimately found to be appropriate in 1860, then EXCUSED would be inappropriate in 1863 (it can't be true that "the defendant could not reasonably avoid breaching the rules in a manner at least as serious as that alleged" if the defendant did not in fact breach the rules). -root
