Caller's Arguments:

Argument for FALSE - R2598 says/said:

      8. Any player CAN with Agoran Consent trigger this Rule.  When
         this Rule is triggered, the following events happen in order:
         (a) the Politics Rules are automatically repealed in ascending
         numerical order (unless Politics has been Revived), (b) the
         Spaaace Rules are automatically repealed in ascending numerical
         order (unless Spaaace has been Revived), and (c) this Rule is
         automatically repealed.

It's not clear to me that those events can/could actually occur - the
rule is/was just stating that they happen, rather than stating that it
(or something else with Power >= 3.0) makes them happen. R105 is pretty
unambiguous that rule changes can only be caused by instruments, which
is why we have verbose things like this in R106:

      When a decision about whether to adopt a proposal is resolved, if
      the outcome is ADOPTED, then the proposal in question is adopted,
      and unless other rules prevent it from taking effect, its power is
      set to the minimum of four and its adoption index, and then it
      takes effect. Except as prohibited by other rules, a proposal that
      takes effect CAN and does, as part of its effect, apply the
      changes that it specifies.
