I understand your other arguments but not this one. I'm arguing that
publish = announce = make a public statement. None of these are doing
a secondary action "by" announcement but all of these would bring
about a punishment for a false statement/announcement/publication.
But following on, "do X by announcement that I do X" = "do X by
publication that I do X" = "do x by making a public statement that
I do X". Again, no distinction.
