Prior to 1987 the blanket provision of L65 would give permission to ask 
at any time.  Law74c4 OTOH only makes it an offence if their is 
considered motive.  The current laws are not in conflict with "It's 
generally OK to correct immediately, it's likely to be an offence if 
attention is drawn at a key moment (e.g. when pard appears to be trying 
to decide whether to cash the setting trick)".  Note to Steve, I'm not 
suggesting mind-reading required here, just an adjusted score if the 
timing of the correction appears opportune and action is taken as a 
result.
