If possible, I judge CFJ 3438 TRUE on reconsideration, per previous arguments.

In lieu of a better way to ask players whether the CFJ system is
broken, I hereby call the following: (yet more CFJs about whether
other CFJs have certain judgements!)
1. "CFJ 3438 has a judgement of DISMISS."
2. "CFJ 3438 has a judgement of TRUE."

Arguments: DISMISS is the original judgement, TRUE is the reconsidered
one.  Refer to the quoted message and other players' replies to it for
why FALSE/FALSE and TRUE/FALSE are possibilities.

I humbly request that the judge *not* do something like "I attempt to
judge #1 TRUE, since this only succeeds if the statement is in fact
true". :)
