I'm actually going to have to agree, looking at the Arguments. It's
the Answer I wanted and believe, but I don't agree with the priest's
reasons for sharing my view.

By the way, Wooble recently pointed me to this:
http://b.nomic.net/index.php/Consultations/00129

The Oracularity has been undone since, but that doesn't change the
fact that it was understood to be true at the time (this was one of
the properly-used Oracularities that removes the ambiguity rather than
fixing the brokenness the Priest has just acknowledged as being
present) and nothing has changed to remove this fact. Ergo, there were
precedents three months ago, and this has not changed since then.

...of course this is a circular argument. If you think our judicial
system is just worthless verbal flatus, then you're free to ignore
what was true in September.
