It appears, based on my reading, that DISMISS would have been valid but not appropriate (whatever that means) while, by a similar implication, TRUE and FALSE are both valid and appropriate. nichdel's interpretation, that TRUE and/or FALSE are only valid for a true and false statement, respectively, lead to the even more absurd result that any attempt to assign an incorrect judgement fails platonically (since a judge can only assign valid judgements). -Alexis
