I don't think this is a good idea. You will be voting on the GR
as-written, not on someones interpretation of it. So if someone now
explains how the GR would (in his or her opinion) affect your example,
and you base your vote on that, there is no guarantee at all that your
vote will have the intended consequences.

In other words, if I were not clear about the implications of a GR, I'd
ask for them to be made explicit in the GR text itself, rather than base
my vote on someone else's interpretation.


Best,
Nikolaus
