Suppose we accept your arguments and let the changes take effect. A
while later, a proposal with the following text takes effect:
If proposal 7701 amended rule 2424 before amending rule 2420,
award Eritivus 1 point.
What happens, and why?
Nothing, because points were repealed. :) But if you changed it to
"award Eritivus an Infrared Ribbon", it would still be ineffective
due to ambiguity.
