Aren't you the one that's been arguing that the game state is independent of whatever Mr. A says?  So, yes, he had to recognize them in order, but nevertheless they existed in the proper order whether he recognized them or not.

The implication, though, of your argument is that he'd have to essentially compose a massive version of the Daily Recognizer to re-recognize everything in proper sequence since the time my proposals appeared on spoon-business.

But the proposals themselves should be there.  So I should, in a few hours, theoretically be able to cast my vote on, say, the _Serialized Forms_ proposal, the _Ice Gremlin_ proposal, etc., regardless of what their actual numbers are.
