Interesting catch! Is there any argument that, in this circumstance, MUST implies CAN? I think probably that argument doesn’t work, but here’s what it might say: There is no method for the Referee to discharge eir mandatory duties except by imposing the Cold Hand of Justice when warranted.

imposing the Cold Hand of Justice is impossible after all. I note in passing that there might be odd results if a similar situation occurred (rule claiming to make something POSSIBLE without specifying a method) with a rule that takes precedence over Rule 2125.
