I'm probably splitting hairs here, but I interpret that to be applying to the rules... I can't make attempts to change the decendents of rule 1? With the restructuring of the rules, I perceive a decendency heirarchy to the rules structure. I go no.

Unassailability only means that the dragons cannot steal those rules that are unassailable. It doesn't stop them from being repealed, changed, etc in other ways. --JT [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. ] [ It's hard to seize the day when you must first grapple with the morning ] [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] ------------------------------ End of acka-research Digest V4 #10 **********************************
