Statement

A future evaluator judges an earlier act by the standard in force when it was taken rather than by her revised standard.

Source

Stated from its content, as the sibling of the readout question readout-R1-vs-R2: a future evaluator whose standard has changed can judge an earlier act by her revised standard (retroactive) or by the standard in force when it was taken (prospective).

Notes

Stated as the prospective reading. Negatives that turn on the evaluator's standard being revised after the act need retroactive judging, and time-indexing the standard removes them.
