Well, the rules say that the judgment, which presumably includes its analysis, has the force of law.  And since my Appeal Clause wasn't voted in, that means that if a judgment states that the executive official assuredly the declaration summer solstice, that's the law.  A babbled proposal can be voted down; a babbled CFJ can be laughed out of court; a babbled judgment that comes close enough to legible meaning yet doesn't mean what the judge wanted it to can be dangerous.

Am I overreacting?  If enough people want the clock provisions without the babble provision, let me know and I'll take it out.
