OOC: I agree with this wholeheartedly and have been making a similar argument for more than a year. Any factual inaccuracy in a repeal should be grounds for removal. Period. Voters do not have enough interest in the GA to conduct an in-depth analysis of the arguments and to verify whether they square with the original. Some may do that. The many, many more do not. The moderators should disabuse themselves of any notion that the overwhelming majority of players that are not directly involved in the GA care enough about it to do research. That is not why they play the game.
Agreed.
