Sorry, you misapprehend.
The rule which states there is only one rule is the only rule.
The corollaries are non sequiturs.
I must ignore the rest of your mailing as unrelated.
I'm pretty shaky on this whole good/bad, right/wrong thing.
I believe that crossing the streams may be considered as bad.
If one may define (capital) Truth as a property possessed by a proposition
and whose quantity is measured by the degree to which that proposition
correctly predicts the future. Does that mean that nothing can be truthful
in the present as no such propositions can be confirmed until later?
Making up the definitions is a lot like defining the rules.

Thank you for leading me to some reading I might otherwise have missed.

Glad to be of assistance.

PS if it is true that Yash ratted on L'Ermit to the military then he is a
very, very bad Yash indeed. The consequences are bad. He changed the rules
by force. He reveals by this action an agenda that he never openly declared
to the forum. He must be a front-runner for the "Intellectual nark of the
year" award. Fie.
