It is a parasitic rule: A rule-writer must carefully >pick the words in their rule, ignoring patented parts, since he must >put in the genetic infomation of my rule, in the same order, in his Submitted by Jesse F. W. Judgement: INVALID. This rule is attempting to clone 167:14. In cloning the genetic code of the clone is the same as that as the parent with the exception of any genetic material from words _spliced in accordance with previous rules_. The only rule supporting splicing is 167:8, which requires the splicing in of 1/2 of the patented phrase from the previous rule. The patented phrase from the previous rule in this case has no genetic material. Therefore, either the genetic code of this rule is identical to that of 167:14 (which is inconsistent with 167:12) or it is not identical (which is inconsistent with 167:14). QED. Style: The phrasing and grammar of this rule are awkward and its meaning is unclear. The effect of this rule if it were valid would be difficult in the extreme and probably round-killing. I would not suggest resubmitting a corrected version. -2.0 -TWJ -- Rule Date: 2001-08-23 19:27:42 GMT
