A more detailed analysis:
* omd's judgement of CFJ 2878 is not a judicial declaration, so it
doesn't self-ratify.
* Rule 2110 says "question of veracity is UNDECIDABLE", not "question
of veracity is judged UNDECIDABLE". Interpreting this literally,
if CFJ 2878 is a tortoise, then it was one since it was initiated,
regardless of omd's judgement or any appeal of said judgement.
* Rule 2186 allows any person (not just a player) to win, but the
win announcement is ineffective because it includes another
self-contradiction and is thus not factually correct.
