Hardly. First sentence of 217: "All Judgements must be in accordance with the Rules" Later, "When a Judge is considering eir Judgement of a Statement contained in a CFJ, e shall make eir evaluation based on the truth or falsity of the Statement at the time the CFJ was issued." I'd say it was clear that this "truth or falsity" refers to the situation as the Rules see it. If the rules say "JFK was shot by an invisible pink unicorn", and someone calls a CFJ stating that JFK was shot by someone else, then it has to be judged false. Michael.
