(Sorry for the length of the CFJ statement; it's an experiment in
writing a relatively self-contained one. I welcome comments on whether
or not that's a good idea.)
I'm not keen on this approach (I thought about it a bit), in looking at
the "longer" statements in the CFJ index I think it decreases browsability
and I don't think it particularly aids findability, and if it became a
habit would take a re-think of how to design the index page. I could be
wrong though, and serves as a reminder that I still haven't implemented
search!
[The amusing bit is that, for all its specificity, it jumbles the actual
evidence, because "The above" doesn't have a referent when put in the case
logs. It's always a (very minor) bother when callers use
message-positional references in a statement because that usually changes
in the case log and requires some annotation].
I think that's typically been handled by including the target of the
reference in evidence. Or is that the type of annotation that you meant?
More generally, lots of other statements (e.g. "X is a player", "X has
at least Y coins") depend on looking at arguments/evidence to work out
the real point of the case ("I think TRUE/FALSE/whatever because Z").
