Lol, great idea! If all of these proposals pass, then I think any resulting CFJ can have only two possible outcomes: (1) it would read “Tangelo” into the beginning of every rule, or (2) it would somehow maneuver to give the rule no practical effect (basically the same outcome). Otherwise, Rule 991 would cease to be a “rule,” and CFJs themselves would become impossible (a so-called performative contradiction). It would also make enough other rules cease to be “rules” that Agora would become ossified (in violation of a power=4 rule).
