The fact that FOO might not be a constant. It's ambiguous whether you're multiplying the result of the expansion of one mention of FOO, or if you're generating 5 separate copies of FOO, which isn't even a vote. Let me expand BobTHJ's sell ticket literally, fixing the grammar: "[I] post[ing] a Sell Ticket with a cost of 5VP and vot[e/ing] to endorse the filler of that ticket x5" Notice where the x5 ends up after the expansion. That looks awfully to me like voting x5, based on one Sell Ticket. The ambiguity is in whether the SELL(5VP) or the x5 is expanded first. You seem to think the x5 is expanded first, but I still can't see any evidence for this view. -- ais523
