[s-d] Re: [s-b] Wonko's loophole


first of all, indistinguish isn't a verb, nor any other part of speech.
Secondly, r699 said (note past tense) that an action must be
indistinguishable from a legal one by at least one person to be legal. While
your interpretation is clearly far far from the original intent, even with
such an interpretation the loopohole still works. An action need not have
previously been taken to be an action. Thus, Wonko could not distinguish his
actions from legal actions of the same description, even though they had
never previously been taken.
