===== begin rule submission =====

A theme of 'begging the question' begs the question of what exactly is
meant by 'begging the question', since the term is understood
differently by different people. I propose that we settle, or at least
explore, this question. 

Therefore, each Rule in this round should both suggest, and instantiate,
an answer to this question, not necessarily the same answer!

For myself, I propose that the authoritative answer to the question of
what constitutes begging the question is to be found in that
authoritative source for all FRC-related questions, the FRC Regulations.
And what makes me think that that the FRC Regulations are the
authoritative source for all FRC-related questions?  It says so in the
FRC Regulations!

====== end rule submission ======
