So if I have 5 points, and my score is (accidentally) self-ratified to be 10 points, we can say that "my score was changed from 5 to 10 at the instant the report was published" which we can't actually say now. (This still leaves us open to occasional retroactive action questions or possible paradoxes, but I think it's cleaner and anyway a new source of paradoxes is part of the fun). We should also add specific language for when ratification sets something to an impossible- to-hold value.
I will vote against anything that involves retroactivity; I can already think of a number of easy-to-pull-off paradoxen.
