L16B can apply during the auction as well.  "When a player 
accidentally receives unauthorized information about a board 
he is playing or has yet to play...."  Its purpose seems to 
distinguish UI created by the players who are supposed to be 
  at the table from UI created by other people.  It seems 
more a matter of who creates the UI than when.

L27B1a, in a similar position to assign no penalty, makes 
explicit reference to L16 and the effect of the extraneous 
information.

L34 has the same potential problem as is being discussed 
about L24.  Should they be treated the same?
