EXPERIMENT 00058 RULE SELECTION
As selected on Discord #botspam, the rule for this week is Rule 591
("Delivering Judgements"). I affirm under penalty of No Faking that, to the
best of my knowledge, the process used in this selection had the correct
distribution.
Please send suggestions if you have them!
The text of Rule 591 is reproduced below for convenience:

Rule 591/49 (Power=1.7)
Delivering Judgements
When a CFJ is open and assigned to a judge, that judge CAN assign
a valid judgement to it by announcement, and SHALL do so in a
timely fashion after this becomes possible.
The valid judgements for an inquiry case are as follows, based on
the facts and legal situation at the time the inquiry case was
initiated, not taking into account any events since that time:
* FALSE, appropriate if the statement was factually and
logically false.
* TRUE, appropriate if the statement was factually and
logically true.
* IRRELEVANT, appropriate if the veracity of the statement is
not relevant to the game or is an overly hypothetical
extrapolation of the game or its rules to conditions that don't
actually exist, or if it can be trivially determined from the
outcome of another (possibly still undecided) judicial case that
was not itself judged IRRELEVANT.
* INSUFFICIENT, appropriate if the statement does not come
with supporting arguments or evidence, and the judge feels as if
an undue burden is being placed on em by the lack of arguments
and evidence. A CFJ judged as INSUFFICIENT SHOULD be submitted
again with sufficient arguments/evidence.
* DISMISS, appropriate if the statement is malformed, undecidable,
if insufficient information exists to make a judgement with
reasonable effort, or the statement is otherwise not able to be
answered with another valid judgement. DISMISS is not
appropriate if PARADOXICAL is appropriate.
* PARADOXICAL, appropriate if the statement is logically
undecidable as a result of a paradox or or other irresovable
logical situation. PARADOXICAL is not appropriate if IRRELEVANT
is appropriate, nor is it appropriate if the undecidability
arises from the case itself or in reference to it.
If the judge of an open CFJ has not violated a time limit for
assigning it a judgement, and has not previously filed a motion to
either extend or reconsider the case, e CAN file a motion to
extend the case by announcement. Doing so extends eir judgement
deadline for that case by one week. In doing so, e SHOULD include
a (nonbinding) draft or outline of eir current thoughts on the
case.
