Preferred alternative: It ratified that:
1. The message was sent by "Phill"
2. We now know that Phill is a non-person.
3. Therefore the entity who sent the message is a non-person.
4. The entity "Elliot Hird" sent the message.
5. Therefore we have ratified that Elliot Hird is a non-person.
5. Therefore Elliot Hird cannot be (and can't ever again be) a first-class
player.
