BUS: CFJ 3822 Judged TRUE
Judge's Arguments in CFJ 3822 The caller's arguments are extremely persuasive. They unquestionably establish by a preponderance of the evidence that CFJ 7 remains open, that its decision was delinquent, so that the Arbitor could recuse the judge if there was one, and that even if the judge were indeterminate, that would result in the case nevertheless being open for assignment. All of this counsels in favor of a judgement of TRUE. However, I think the caller has not sufficiently shown why this case should be judged on the basis of a preponderance of the evidence standard, rather than by judging DISMISS. A verdict of DISMISS is appropriate "if insufficient information exists to make a judgement with reasonable effort" (R591), and there is a strong argument to be made that insufficient evidence exists in this case, given the holes in the historical record. Nevertheless, I do not judge this case DISMISS, because extraordinarily strong public policy grounds support judging this case on a preponderance of the evidence standard. Specifically, this course of action is justified by the vast emphasis Agorans place on the integrity of the historical record. In an influential essay, nch argued that Agora's main product is our story [1]. Indeed, many players join Agora, rather than another nomic, because of our vast history. Additionally, the caller's arguments show the remarkable effort that has been exerted to maintain the integrity of judicial cases over time; whenever the rules governing them have been amended, Agorans have taken the greatest care to preserve old judgements. Given all of the emphasis we've placed on preserving our history, judging this case DISMISS merely because of the slight chance that there was some change that was missed would be an admission of defeat. It would be an admission that despite the efforts we've taken to preserve our records of the past, we could nevertheless not trust them. This is not how we play Agora. We play on the assumption that the records of the past are true, unless there is some special reason to doubt their validity. If we cannot find any intermediate evidence invalidating past evidence about the state of the game, and there is no particular reason to expect that changes have happened in the meantime, we will continue on the assumption that the state of affairs remains the same until it is proven wrong, thus preserving the chain of time linking us to our past. Accordingly, I rule now that it has been sufficiently proven that the case was open, as stated in the ancient records brought forth before the court by the caller, and that since the deadline for assigning a judgement was long delinquent, the Arbitor properly had authority to recuse the judge, if any, and to assign Jason in eir place. TRUE. [1] https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-discussion/2016-July/041045.html
