EXPERIMENT 00067 RULE SELECTION
As selected on Discord #botspam, the rule for this week is Rule 2201
("Self-Ratification"). I affirm under penalty of No Faking that, to the
best of my knowledge, the process used in this selection had the correct
distribution.
Please send suggestions if you have them!
The text of Rule 2201 is reproduced below for convenience:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 2201/10 (Power=3)
Self-Ratification
When a public document is continuously undoubted for one week
after publication:
- If the rules define it as self-ratifying, it is ratified.
- If the rules define it as a self-ratifying attestation to a
given statement, the statement is ratified.
This clause is inapplicable if the statement to be ratified
cannot be reasonably ascertained from the ruleset and the
contents of the message.
Any person CAN by announcement issue a doubt (syn. claim of
error), identifying a document and explaining the scope and nature
of a perceived error in it (or in a statement it attests to).
When this happens, the publisher of the original document SHALL
(if e was required to publish that document) or SHOULD (otherwise)
do one of the following in a timely fashion, in an announcement
that clearly cites the claim of error:
1. Deny the claim (causing it to cease to be a doubt).
2. Publish a revision.
3. Initiate an inquiry case regarding the truth of the claim
(if the subject is actually a matter of law), or cite a
relevant existing inquiry case.
Any person CAN by announcement issue a doubt (syn. claim of
error), identifying a device and explaining the scope and nature
of a perceived error in it (or in a statement it attests to).
