Oh no, no mistake. The absolute best way (at least in my humble opinion) to handle matters where the rules are less than clear is to pick the credible interpretation you want to have be true and plow ahead on the assumption that it is, letting the judiciary figure out what to do about it afterwards. Warning: this can create situations where you turn out to have been wrong all along and some of what you did is stupid. Other warning: this can create multiple different versions of the nomic universe which are *radically* different from one another and sometimes in ways that make it difficult to impossible to tell what happened for real. If one version is highly unlikely but not actually proven false, most often because the judgement that it is false is only valid if it is, then that version is known as a "Woobleverse." These can be kind of awesome, but generally the woobleverse version is unlikely enough that we all just ignore it and get on with what's really going on. - teucer _______________________________________________ spoon-discuss mailing list spoon-discuss@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-discuss
