" .... As I said, I would bid 6NT over 3H, but probably not over 2H

+++ and that is exactly my point.  There is a conflicit in the laws in this
case.  One Law 16 is telling you to bid on "normally" ignoring any
extraneous information available which could divert you from a normal
action.  Another law 27B is saying its ok to have information available when
Pd corrects a misbid legally to a level higher even though this information
WILL almost certainly effect your call had that misbid not happened.

Any cognitent pair with sufficient knowledge of the laws could have a field
day with the implications here.  Playing devils advocate - you could
deliberately misbid in "dodgy" cases, correct the call and pd is now happy
as larry with the extra info ... and its all legal.

If you are going to bid 6NT over 3H's why do you change your mind over 2H
corrected to 3H ... ??  They are the same auction.  No they SHOULD be the
same auction - but currently arent.
