"I create this proposal" and "I submit the following proposal" would be basically the same if create and submit are synonyms, and the judge interterpetted "I create this proposal: {Shorthand}" as having two possible meanings, both of which would mean my creations of proposals succeeded, as they were essentially the same as Jason's. -- secretsnail
