Looking at this again, if the Rules state that doing something is a
crime (such as lying in a public message), then that arguably alters the
Rules-defined "state" of whether or not they are guilty of a crime. Is

In my view, "inherent meaning" is a bit vague. I certainly could write
up a document that suggests a change to the laws of my country, print a
bunch of copies, and then start handing them out to everyone I know.
