The Index of the Giant's Comments V―On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index

[Peelee]

Come on. Rule E is meant to exclude things that are redundant. It doesn't say "redundant with another quote in the Index". Just "redundant". This quote obviously falls under that rule, we have unanimity (including SaintRidley!) on the matter. We could twist the reading in such a way as to ignore the intent of the rule, but I fail the see the benefit in doing so.

Devil's Banana's Advocate: that rule is for inclusion. The quote is already included. The intent is to not allow redundant quotes to be enshrined to begin with. Removing quotes was not even a consideration for quite a long time, and is a highly divisive topic. There is also currently only one rule for removal. This is correctly functioning both RAW and RAI.
