+=+ Some of the subscribers on here are
CTDs of NBOs, major Directors in
NBOs having no formally appointed CTD, 
or senior advisors on the application of the 
laws in their own countries or regions. Some 
are simply isolated from counsel on the 
interpretation and application of laws - even, 
I am advised, in certain NBOs that we think
of as being to the forefront of the game.
      When such as these find the law book 
confusing, or leaving a question in their
minds, I prefer not to respond in terms of
deprecation of the individual. There are a 
number of places in the law book where 
the player is given options following an 
irregularity; I see no reason why it should 
not be so here - the player may think it of
possible advantage to himself in the play 
of the hand, or socially in some environments,
and I have no quibble with that. Indeed it is 
my opinion that where alternatives are possible 
players should be given opportunity to judge 
their own advantage as often as may be 
following an opponent's infraction.
