 Sorry, I wasn't clear enough: I meant CoEing the Floating Rate Schedule,
 since the conversion table is slightly off.  I just wanted to avoid
 extra confusion in the next Forbes, since some can wonder why they got

CFJ 3658 (https://faculty.washington.edu/kerim/nomic/cases/?3658)
discusses the definition of "document" a bit:

What about "document"?  A "public Document" is defined by R1551 as "part
(possibly all) of a public message."  This narrows things down in one
direction - a single document cannot be spread over multiple messages. But
within a message, this would allow every section, or even every single
character of a message to be a separate "document".  One could even say
"I CoE on the document made up by taking every other letter of the
following report."

However, looking to the common definition of "document" gives:
>   A piece of written, printed, or electronic matter that provides
>   information or evidence or that serves as an official record.

The key point here is that a document provides information or is an
official record.  At the extreme, a single character provides no
information on its own, so this suggests there's a minimum information
content for a document to be a document.  And for these purposes, the
"official record" in question is clearly defined in R2166/26:
>That entity's report includes a list of all instances of that class
> and their owners. This portion of that entity's report is self-
> ratifying.

This list is described as a unit, so a full list of Currency X holdings is
the minimum "unit of information" that could be considered a self-
ratifying document.  Further, the fact that multiple "documents" can be
comingled means that each Currency List is a separate "document", even if
the information is in columns or otherwise combined with other "documents"
(e.g. in columns of

The current rules are a bit different, and you could make a pretty fair

issue a revision, you just NEED NOT do so. The relevant current rule is

Under the current rules, only a document can be CoE'd (see Rule 
2201/10). I forget what exactly that entails, but if you can classify

 Indeed, Rule 2645 specifies that wielding the stone performs the effect
 instantly. The boatloads and its translation into coins were
 supplemental effects. Also, for future reference, Claims of Error are
 reserved for inaccuracies in reports. In this case the action just
 failed and the best you could do would be to inform the player of such

While CoE is terminology used for any pointing out of error, here's been a
fair amount of back and forth about this over the years as per the legal
response, and many text changes to the rule.  For example, 2201/7 (circa
2017) pretty clearly tied CoE to the self-ratifying documents only.  I
think then that precedent isn't much use here.  The current version has
the doubting again following after the self ratification and it's not
clear to me.

On a "how it should be" note, I think for example that officers SHOULD NOT
correct CoEs that are the provenance of other officers (for example, if a
Treasuror separates zombies in eir currency reports, a CoE of "X isn't a
zombie" shouldn't be responded to by the Treasuror).  That's not quite the
case here, but just to illustrate that just because someone publishes a
fact, there are situations that e SHOULD NOT necessarily respond to CoEs
about it.

Precedent seems to disagree. CFJ 1420 said that the list of watchers could
be CoE'd, despite not being defined by the rules.

The current rules are a bit different, and you could make a pretty fair
argument that, under recent precedent, the conversion table is a separate
document that wasn't required to be published. But even then, you SHOULD
issue a revision, you just NEED NOT do so. The relevant current rule is
Rule 2201.
