Actually, part of the purpose of the recent scam was to leave as little as possible to interpretation. For example, I would have bought Murphy's vote (or tried, at least) even if e had voted FOR, to ensure an unambiguous FOR*votinglimit instead of the current ambiguous situation. Unfortunately I goofed up wrt 5952 leading to the glut of CFJs; and of course the entire scam hinged around the increase clause. I actually didn't expect that the clause would generate so much controversy.
