The original text also included "I don't think anyone believes West has 
miscounted the trumps".  I'm happy going with the flow of that and gave 
what I considered a normally careless line based on that info: one off. 
(If you can decide he didn't notice a red on red discard I can decide he 
confused the 6/9 of clubs on the first round, or that he hadn't 
paid sufficient attention to the entry situation).

If you choose to discount that comment and decide that declarer *had* 
miscounted trumps then you rule for the normally careless line of the CK 
being ruffed: also one off.

I'm not even saying you are wrong to discount the statement about not 
miscounting trumps - merely that the decision doesn't affect the number 
of tricks I'd award.
