I didn't see anything that made this obvious -- can you explain to me
the basis for this assumption?

It might help if you could explain your reasoning. Note that Anthony has
stated that he's willing to reconsider his opinion (he's deferred that
decision to the Technical Committee), but so far no one has provided a
solid reason for that opinion to be overridden.

Hey, maybe you are right and he shouldn't have made the decision he did.
If so, there's no need for this GR -- all we need to do is follow
your logic. [Which is what?]
Alternatively, you made a mistake and there was no reasonable way for
Anthony to anticipate that you made this mistake. In which case there
would be no way for him to talk to you ahead of time and tell you that
you were making this mistake.
But in neither case is "Ask Anthony before voting" a reasonable solution
to the problem.

You haven't defined "properly".
If there is some rational basis for thinking that Anthony made the wrong
decision, we can just skip this GR.

This seems totally irrational.
