It's a basic tenet of the game that we follow judgements. There is explicit language allowing for this in Rule 789 (and this allows pretty well arbitrary deeming, as just about any subject can come up in a CFJ). And there is also explicit language in R1728. Such deeming happens in regulated fashion, so everyone else's unregulated deeming is completely irrelevant. You can deem Zefram to be a pineapple, but your perception of Zefram is of no relevance when a Judge comes to establish the answer to the question. If, on the other hand, you passed a proposal deeming Zefram to be a pineapple, we'd have to respect this. Again, this is because 106 allows proposals to do too much. Michael.
