Yes, I guess I've overlooked statements like that one, which are UNDECIDABLE not because of some contradiction in the rules but because of their very nature. Perhaps I was thinking that UNDECIDABLE would not be appropriate because IRRELEVANT would. Regardless of which way I was mistaken, I now agree that UNDECIDABLE is sometimes appropriate. I CFJ on the statement "Immediately after a judge is assigned to this case, it will be legal for that judge to judge FALSE on its question on veracity." Arguments: If FALSE is appropriate, the statement is true, making FALSE inappropriate; therefore, FALSE is not appropriate. TRUE is appropriate only if FALSE is appropriate; it isn't. IRRELEVANT is certainly inappropriate, as a question of legality is relevant; UNDETERMINED is inappropriate, as I just showed that neither FALSE nor TRUE is appropriate. Therefore, UNDECIDABLE is the only appropriate judgement. --Ivan "Arguments Within Arguments, or not" Hope CXXVII
