This pledge is obviously self-contradictory. If Goethe could terminate
HAL by announcement, e could remove eir right to call CFJs. By rule 101,
this is obviously impossible.

Also, HAL is not party to that pledge, so you can't Mousetrap em like
that. (Rule 101 would stop you doing so.) Therefore, you can't act on
behalf of em.

Therefore, obviously FALSE, even if your point is conceded.
