Gratuitous arguments:

Rule 22 explicitly permits the changing the rules as implicitly allowed
by other rules.  Such implicit allowance is used for both adopted
proposals (Rule 17 section G: "the effects specified in the proposal
occur") and adopted Refresh Proposals (Rule 0: "the Refresh Proposal ...
takes effect").

Even if you believe that the ability of proposals to change the rules
is broken or may be broken, the ability of Refresh Proposals to change
the rules is protected by the first paragraph of Rule 0.
