Gratuitous:
If the proposal read "insert" or "amend the list to include" rather than
"append", then the change would almost certainly be ambiguous. The judge
is requested to provide a general rubric for determining whether a given
near-synonym for "append"/"insert" is ambiguous or unambiguous, and if
possible to do so for potentially-ambiguous terminology in general.


[Not part of gratuitous arguments: this may warrant increasing the
case's II considerably if the judge intends to comply.]
