True, but when later asked to defend yourself, you replied only with:

I've already made some arguments, and having forgotten
what this case is all about, I can't make any more at the moment.

Anyway, this is immaterial to the facts of the case, serving only to
demonstrate somewhat bad faith.  I still don't understand why (other
situations where UNDECIDABLE might be appropriate aside) "This
statement is false" is not UNDECIDABLE.  Even if the defendant forgot
"logically undecidable" as e claims,  that statement is plainly "not
capable of being accurately described as either false or true".

By the way, I think Appellant Zefram missed the point in CFJ
2086-2087... at the moment that I say "I CFJ on xxx", it is true that
I am initiating a CFJ on xxx (and not true at any other time).
However, is it then true that CFJ xxx exists?  Does it exist while it
is being initiated?  I would say that, given the analogy with an
entity that takes nonzero time to instantiate (say, a database
record), the CFJ does not exist while it is being created... but that
is a different case.
