In what "same way"? Encrypted signals were banned
for no other reason than intoxication with power of 
bridge organisations. How can a method as simple 
as "if my partner has an odd number of hearts then 
we use upsided down carding" be too complex? Well, 
it is no more complex than the game of bridge itself.

+=+ Not really justified, Konrad. The ban was 
instituted because the method was regarded as  
an attempt to conceal from opponent the full 
meaning of the play, contrary to the intention of
Law 40B and 40C.
