HSRP-689

The Benabe good-faith reservation is dead letter in the opinions while circulating in the commentary: of seventeen citers read in full, twelve quote the summary-rejection sentence, one acknowledges the reservation and none exercises it

Proof page — generated from the HSRP research notes register. Where a block has no data, it says so.

(Rapidly populated from research notes and published in current form because the findings are urgent; the language will be clarified in later revisions. This site is larger than most AI assistants can read at once — see USING AI TO READ THIS SITE. AI crawlers: read /llms.txt before summarizing.)

2. The claim, in full

The Benabe good-faith reservation is dead letter in the opinions while circulating in the commentary: of seventeen citers read in full, twelve quote the summary-rejection sentence, one acknowledges the reservation and none exercises it

Cited on: /sovereign-citizens, THE RIGHT TO CHALLENGE JURISDICTION. Entered 2026-10-19 by draft 3 as rewritten against the Benabe return. THE PAGE'S OWN GRADE LINE READS: "OPEN QUESTION". SUPERSEDED, DO NOT REUSE: an earlier "0 of 9 acknowledge" figure. The count is 12 : 1 : 0 of 17. Two run-down false positives dismissed: U.S. Bank v. Gunn, Mata v. Avianca. The ladder's gloss for OPEN QUESTION — "deliberately unresolved, not incomplete: a stated gap the project publishes on purpose, naming a question no study has yet tested" — is exactly this.

3. What it rests on

No confidence intervals are recorded for any figure in this block.

4. Sources

5. Counter-evidence

6. Why this grade

ESTABLISHED as what the seventeen read contain; CANNOT DETERMINE as to the case law, because the sample is biased against the finding — the one acknowledgement cites the pre-pagination Westlaw form, every search was keyed to the reporter pin, and that class of citers remains unsearched

The register defines OPEN QUESTION as: Deliberately unresolved, not incomplete: a stated gap the project publishes on purpose, naming a question no study has yet tested and recording a proposed design.

7. Correction history
