I hadn't realized this.  Thanks, Peter, for eliciting this clarification.

It would seem wise to incorporate this clarification into THE FORM, because
it is far from obvious.  I sure hope that this doesn't invoke the following
clause in THE RULES:

  If I change any declared meaning that appears
  within this declaration I will explicitly acknowledge
  that this point of meaning I have provided may have been
  refuted where refutation can be proven via either,
  logical invalidity or a confirmed point of refutation.

That would seem to be overkill, unless Peter, competitor that he is,
were to insist...

In fact, RULES like the above are a second reason why I will probably
never complete THE FORM.  Such RULES seem more appropriate to an
amateur debating club than to a forum created for mutual enlightenment
and information sharing.
