Ruling: FALSE

Analysis: Cloudy though the wording of the original rule may be, 
it seems fairly clear to me that the intention was to use the 
haiku as an introduction, and the prose paragraph as a full 
explanation.  The prose paragraph seems clear to me: "earns 10 
Score points _if the proposal is adopted_" (emphasis mine).
