167. I dunno

I always assume there might be something I missed as well, but, yes, if it is just a "declaration into the void", then the perjury invocation is just a way of saying "I'm serious." One could do a press release, an open letter, etc., but the implication here is that she would so testify if actually under a duty of truthfulness.

Like I said, we don't have a formal way to make oathlike public declarations. Of course, if we did, then things would certainly get entertaining.
