=============================== CFJ 3885 =============================== On or about 10:35:46 UTC on 4 Oct 2020, PSS published a self-ratifying report on the value of the instances of the Karma switch. ========================================================================== Caller: Jason Judge: G. ========================================================================== History: Called by Jason: 04 Oct 2020 22:10:43 Assigned to G.: [now] ========================================================================== Caller's Evidence: Possible "report": https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-official/2020-October/014273.html Rule 2162/12 [Excerpt]: A type of switch is a property that the rules define as a switch, and specify the following: 1. The type(s) of entity possessing an instance of that switch. No other entity possesses an instance of that switch. 2. One or more possible values for instances of that switch, exactly one of which should be designated as the default. No values other than those listed are possible for instances of that switch, except that, if no default is specified, then rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the "null" value is a possible value for that switch, and is the default. 3. Optionally, exactly one office whose holder tracks instances of that switch. That officer's (weekly, if not specified otherwise) report includes the value of each instance of that switch whose value is not its default value; a public document purporting to be this portion of that officer's report is self-ratifying, and implies that other instances are at their default value. Rule 2379/0 (Power=1) No News Is Some News If the rules define a report as including a list, then while that list is empty, that report includes the fact that it is empty. Caller's Arguments: For a switch report to be self-ratifying, it must "purport" to be the switch portion of the officer's report. While the document itself does not contain any text suggesting it is a report, the subject line does, which may be enough to make the document purport to be a report. The content may or may not qualify as being a report. The empty document omits all instances of the switch and all values, which, if it was a report, would imply that all values of the Karma switch have a default value. However, this may contradict Rule 2379, since Rule 2162 could be read as requiring a list of non-default values, even though it never explicitly requires a "list". That would imply that no empty document could ever purport to be a switch report, since it would either need to include a list of non-default values or the fact that such a list is empty. ==========================================================================
