Adding on to this, when a report self-ratifies it retroactively becomes true as of the time of publication. If that sounds weird, you can think of it as us pretending the report was true when it was published once it's gone unchallenged for long enough. So it would be perfectly reasonable for an officer to deny a CoE with "this was incorrect when published, but has already self-ratified". -Aris >
