Okay, how's this, it's similar. A message from a non-person has been ratified as being from a particular non-person. That doesn't mean the success of the message contents have been ratified. So now we just have a message that was legally ratified to have been sent by a non- person, which doesn't do anything when it comes to registration. Obviously such ratification doesn't help at all if it comes to trying to retcon from an Annabel crisis. -Goethe
