A claim with no logic value (neither true nor false) should not be voted on either way.

And not just because programmers are over-represented here. Claimants are more likely to re-claim with more clarity if they aren't getting votes either way than if they get a bunch of negative votes.

- 38-4 Jyte needs logical and set operators to connect claims.
- 19-0 Claims containing more than one statement should be parsed as logical conjunctions unless otherwise specified.
- 39-164 This claim is about everything
- 46-1 A method for imbedding claims into prose (without a frame) would allow more seemless integration of claims into blogs.

But commenting to explain why you're not voting might be good. Or to suggest revisions.
Definitely, although related claims are more fun.
Oh, and I only agree when it isn't funny. There are special exceptions to rules for when it is funny.

"There are special exceptions to rules for when it is funny."It depends on your system of logic doesn't it? It's entirely possible for a claim to evaluate to a fuzzy truth value (e.g., mostly dead) rather than a binary one. Maybe one person evaluating a claim doesn't feel there is enough information for any truth value to be determined.
Yeah, the voter has to make the decision. The degree of certainty necessary is platform-dependent.
