Anyway, both are equally silly so we'd better stick to the current rules rather than creating a sterile debate for the sake of it.
Valid arguments for change (rather than "I find it silly") are of course welcome I guess, but I haven't seen one.

Sure. So one half of the players will find the other very silly, and the other half will find the others very silly.
Yes, we know this, but allow us the right to think this is very silly.We all know that the correct sequence is:
1/ play Eternal of Sirius and pay the cost
2/ apply the effect: gain 5 pool
3/ check your pool total: 5. You're not ousted.

Adjective
1. Occurring or done at once; instant.
2. Relating to or existing at the present time: "his immediate priority".

Adjective
Occurring, operating, or done at the same time.
I have made up nothing. I am talking about the definition of the word as used in the CRR and how we should change it. If the effects are to be 'concurrent' or 'simultaneous' (which ARE synonyms)... then we should use one of those words. If we want the cost and its effect to be distinct BUT to occur closely together (even so closely as to allow no other card-play/effect to intervene) then we should stick with "immediate".
The rulings made in the past, particularly the one on the Eternals of Sirius, has clearly stated that in the CRR "immediately" should be replaced with either "concurrently" or "simultaneously".

James,
Exactly, the Eternals of Sirius ruling has said that "immediate" is a synonym for "concurrent". My point entirely.It's not a resolution-only check. The Eternals of Sirius ruling established that the cost and effect are simultaneous. So you are on 4 pool. When your pool changes, it goes to 5 pool. There isn't a point when you go to zero pool and then back up to five, nor do you go up to nine pool then down to five.
Still no. Please stop making crap up.

Immediately simply refers to when it happens. As opposed to being delayed, like for actions and strikes (which are described above it), which have a different formulation.
Please, please stop rewriting the rules every day.
