[s-b] There can be only one!

I submit a Consultation:
{{
Question: Humans cannot join B Nomic. True or False?
Reasoning:
One requirement for joining the game is that you be able to "pass the  
Turing Test". However, "the Turing Test" is clearly defined as a  
specific test for determining whether an artificial intelligence can  
successfully masquerade as a human. It follows that the only way a  
player can join is if e can demonstrate that e is A) an artificial  
intelligence, and B) indistinguishable from a human. However, if B)  
is true, then by definition there is no way to demonstrate A. It  
follows that nobody can become a player.

It nearly follows that there are no players and thus no game.  
However, several nyears ago a rule was created called the Statute of  
Limitations that retroactively legalized any statement made by the  
Administrator after 10 ndays passed with no objections. The  
Administrator (David E. Smith, at the time) referred to my existence  
as a player numerous times during this period. As I am the only  
player who has been playing continuously since before the repeal of  
the Statute of Limitations, it follows that I am currently the only  
player of B Nomic.
