Just a reminder for everyone, as there have been several mistakes with
this recently: ratification isn't a method of making rulings on "what
should have happened", and can't "see" history; it's a method of
changing the current gamestate to match the results of what a
retroactive change would have been. In particular, the ratification
mechanism mostly assumes that you're ratifying a true statement, and if
you want to ratify a /false/ statement, that statement mustn't in of
itself have any awareness that it's false.

I object, and I'm pretty sure this wouldn't do anything if ratified
(the statement could only be made true through a rule change, yet the
document doesn't specify the exact change). :p
