What would it mean for an Undecided ruling to be part of game custom,
exactly?  That we customarily don't bother to decide that issue?

My reasoning is that True or False are ways of making a clear decision
about what our custom is at the moment.  Undecided and Refused, on the
other hand, indicate that the Judge either can't or won't determine what
the current custom is.  Since the Judge has made no determination of
custom, how then can the ruling and statement be part of game custom?
