In Agora, inquiry CFJs mostly have no direct effect on the game at all.
The results only affect the gamestate when people assume they're correct
and they end up in self-ratifying reports as a result.

(This worries me, by the way; I think there's still a non-zero chance
that Agoran Partnerships never existed, despite the CFJs saying that
they did.)
