Gratuitous: Yes, Rule 2380 could have changed itself, but that would have read something like "I intend, with Agoran Consent, to cause Rule 2380 to change the text of Rule 2380 to [...]." or "I intend, with Agoran Consent, to cause Rule 2380 to cause Rule 2380 to read [...].". The way he said it, it seems that he caused Rule 2380 to change without specifying how, which implies that he was doing it himself, which I think would fail due to insufficient power.
