Yes, that is in fact exactly what I argue in the judgement to CFJ 3724. :P
I expect D. Margaux meant something like "its outcome, _if resolved now_, would
be ADOPTED". I imagine e would have resubmitted it with that wording, after
realising that the initial wording was wrong, if it hadn't become apparent that
the error in the ADoP report completely ruled out eir Win by Paradox anyway.
