No it isn't.  It was in response to, for example, bidding 3D to say "I 
have the D7"*.  The D7 is neither an honour nor of any HCP value - I 
would expect us all to agree the 3D bid to be conventional.  In 
comparison a 3D bid saying "I have the DA (or A/K, or AK)", would *not* 
be conventional.  It was a given in the context that there was *NO* 
secondary message in either case.

* I agree this may be a convention of limited utility!
