Gratuitous Arguments by G.:
The Registrar's Report in question lists an email address for the person
'blob'. This email address does not match the email address associated
with Blob in previous Registrar's Monthly Reports (around Jan 1 2023).
Furthermore, the currently-registered blob, around the time of eir
registration, had this (summarized) conversation in Discord:

I think that conversation establishes, to the preponderance of evidence,
that the currently-registered blob is new to nomic, and unaware of various
in-jokes concerning the original Blob.
So I think this should be FALSE; though in particular, the disambiguation
relies on the Registrar's Report including the email address as an
annotation, so this CFJ doesn't really address who 'blob' refers to
if the name is used in other reports without the additional annotation.

Judge Murphy's Arguments:
I accept the caller's arguments on all points and judge FALSE.
