The "zombies are not players" CFJ (which would have invalidated votes going years back) was one of those CFJs which had reasonable-to-strong arguments on both sides, and had vocal proponents on both sides, massive fix proto-proposals made when it was first judged TRUE, with feelings running high rather like in comex's current R101 amendment attempt, with the addition that the original CFJ outcome would require massive gamestate recalculation including uncertainty on whether proposals could be passed (again). Since it was eventually reversed to FALSE, maybe the right phrase is "destructed in a furious flurry of the discussion forum". -Goethe
