Imagine a programming language that runs all the program's statements at the same time. That doesn't mean you can just shuffle up the program source, though, you'll get a syntax error.

Not supported by the rules. A message is an arbitrary string of text delivered to a forum. What you are admitting here is that, despite having the same time-date stamp, we can't regard the message simultaneously but must impose an order in the words. Deciding to order words left to right, up to down (legitimate: CFJs 1267-1271) etc. is an arbitrary convention, which we by English custom follow a certain order to avoid the ambiguity (R754.1). Of course my CFJ fails. I was merely illustrating that the concept of ordered but with the same time stamp is one we use every day in Agora, even without legislation mandating it, and, in the absence of legislation, there is nothing against the rules with using the same common English ordering principle to separate complete statements, sentences, or actions as occurring in the sequence in which you would naturally read them on a page. -Goethe

Random shuffling of words is a patently unreasonable form of communication. I actually interpreted it as a reasonably clear shuffling of I CFJ on the statement: This is a CFJ., especially given recent context.
