Yeah, I noticed that when I went to appeal the case (and hoped nobody else would :p). There's sort of a bug there, because REMAND may also be an appropriate judgement (there's serious doubt about the appropriateness of the prior judgement), and if the case is remanded, the new judge has to deliver an ALREADY TRIED judgement... whether 'the appropriateness of the prior judgement' refers to the appropriateness now or then is debatable, but the set of appropriate judgements delivered by an AFFIRM should not be different than that delivered by a remanded judge. Oh well, I suppose this was a pointless little race condition. I tried... ;)
