It looks like CFJ 1214-1215 are foundational (and wholly forgotten): https://faculty.washington.edu/kerim/nomic/cases/?1214 https://faculty.washington.edu/kerim/nomic/cases/?1215 In 1214, Judge Taral states, clearly and directly, that there are basic ease-of-play reasons to allow them and sets the standard: > However, in the > interest of the coherent execution of the Game, it is only reasonable to > allow conditions which can be fully resolved by consultation of the > information publicly available within the scope of the Game at the time > the conditional Order is issued. In 1215, Chuck limits it to reasonably-available knowledge. These two together are very broad and I think serve well as foundations. I found another series, mostly judged by me (2197, 2302, 3259 are three of those) that use CFJ 1460 (the language one) as a basis, since CFJ 1460 gave some examples of too-hard-to-be reasonable effort facts, but that set basically re-affirms 1214-1215 without being aware of them.
