===Open rule, specialization===
Exact inference by the floor is not possible - it is not in the committee's interest to allow this. But inference in a partition of the range of the distribution is possible, much like a cheap talk model. (Specifically, see Crawford and Sobel (1982), covered in [[Grossman Helpman (2001) - Special Interest Politics Chapters 4 And 5 |Grossman and Helpman (2001)]]).
Let <math>a_i\,</math> denote the partition boundaries, with <math>a_0 = 0\,</math> and <math>a_N = 1\,</math>.
