You clearly understand my point, though. Since V.J. is referring to a
pledge that doesn't exist, saying "the pledge above is true" just
doesn't really mean anything. I wouldn't call them "lies", or "intending
to mislead" because I don't see any of that in there.
If you want me to change the /terminology/, sure, I will do that, but
I'm afraid I am rather hidebound in my decision.

Since, per CFJ 3680, the pledge mentioned does not exist, the statement
affirming the pledge's truthfulness is also INEFFECTIVE. INEFFECTIVE
statements are not lies.
I strongly dislike this argument. INEFFECTIVE applies to actions, not
statements. And surely a statement that knowingly presumes something to
exist, implies that it does. (BTW, have you stopped beating your wife?)
