You're proposing that the ArbCom interprets BLP decisions, yet also say BLP is a content policy. I thought it was well-established that ArbCom doesn't do content.
We don't and wouldn't be. We would be ruling on whether Biographies of living persons had been appropriately applied or whether the user had abused their discretion in applying it. It remains a behavior question.
