Judge's Ruling:
TRUE

Judge's Reasoning:
The plaintiff's analysis is accurate, the only interesting thing is
that if rule 340 had an only slightly different wording, for
example:"NomicHomes can be bought and sold in the same manner as any
other Object" , it would permit transferability of NomicHomes, since
the only other objects we have in the game are points, and those are
transferable :-)
Sorry, just raving
