See also CFJ 1346, although that case didn't preclude the possibility of incorrect judgements affecting things, as game custom has since. Or Lindrum World. Rule 217 actually does give force to "past judgements", but only as one factor in cases of inclarity. Sent from my iPhone On Jun 28, 201

Also, TRUE is an incorrect judgement, because you have not won the game, regardless of what the judgement says. If I CFJ'd "I have won the game in 2012." and it was judged TRUE, that would be an incorrect judgement; judgements can interpret the rules, but not override them.

Note that a judgement of UNDECIDABLE will not allow you to win by paradox, as a turtle's paradox cannot arise from the case itself, per rule 2358.
