Right now, we are dealing with a proposal that choses between two
reasonable interpretations of a rule.  However, using this logic,
you could make a change to the "game state" so that any reasonable 
observer would think that the game-state itself was against the rules.
  
More egregious example, could be done at any AI:
 "Be it proclaimed that R101 shall be interpreted as if it 
  named Goethe emperor and e was able to change rules at will."

If allowed, this sets the gamestate to define the interpretation 
of the highest-power rule, so it then has precedence over the rule 
change mechanism.

My position is that this scam is currently forbidden, in that 
proclamations are legislative orders, and can't order forbidden/
illegal gamestates (e.g. CFJ 1381), or at least can't order
gamestates into conflict with rules of higher power than those 
governing legislative orders (a power-1 rule).
