Indeed. And I repeat what I already said in another mail:

If somebody dishonest wants to exploit that loophole, if somebody does
not do what the rules say they do, then the GA should do it for them.

> The maximalist interpretation is clearly nonsensical as per reductio ad

The maximalist interpretation was what was intended.

The maximalist interpretation also was what Anton understood when the
rule was put in place. It is a little hypocritical to pretend is means
something else now.

In fact, if you want to know everything, the current situation was
EXACTLY what I had in mind when I proposed the rule in the first place.
Including the identity of the TC with a conflict of interest.

Human rules are never meant to be applied to their logic extreme,
arguments of this kind are bullshit.

Gyan can call for a vote of no confidence in the TC or one of its
members.
