AGAINT is a special case because it was originally used to subvert the obvious-typo policy (I assume it was part of a scam to make it look like a scam proposal had more opposition than it really did, thus encouraging complacency among its real opponents). Things like this are a gray area, depending on the player's familiarity with that sort of Agoran history (another case is "AOL!" being rejected as a sufficiently obvious synonym for "me too!", despite its appearance in the Jargon File).
