+=+ I would rule misinformation unless I found a clear 
statement on the CC (or in system notes) supporting
North's explanations. What a correctly informed West 
might then lead is another question; some of the time he 
might still lead a club*. A weighted adjustment could be
right (ruling out a trump lead, one light 66% of the time - 
two suits from three - or 75% of the time - nine cards 
from twelve - would occupy my thoughts).   
                                                      ~ G ~   +=+
*no suits would be mentioned in a correct explanation.
