No, he's stating that the fact that IBer's partner made a drastic underbid 
is pretty strong evidence that 'he knew something'. It could be subliminal, 
hence unconscious. Please correct 'ESP' to 'micro-expression'.
The same players that sometimes make the wrong bid at the right time (or a 
psyche, perhaps) because 'well, I somehow guessed that LHO has a whale of a 
hand' -and being one of those is among my braggables- might guess something 
about partner's.
