Actually, I wrote that clause, and since it was intended to generally hold officers to a high standard, I think this was intentional. Players rely on all the information in reports, not just data required to be published - that's why it's there. The player count isn't as important as, say, a history section, but I reasonably relied on it when trying to calculate the quorum, which is why I filed the case, although I think DISCHARGE was reasonable.
