+=+  Presumably claiming that there is an irregularity (violation 
of 2007 Law 72B3) and that the offender "could have been 
aware at the time of his irregularity that this could well damage 
the non-offending side" (2007 L23). However, this begs the 
question once more of the nature of damage caused by the 
revoke, as indeed might also be arguable if you sought instead 
a 12A1 adjustment (see Law 12B1 which raises the question 
"What is a 'table result'?").
