This is essential. Tim's statement means the stop procedure is imperfect, 
as few players are able to exhibit the same face whether they have a 
valuable hand or not. And I do agree.

I'm no more perfect than my fellow human players, and have solved this 
problem by *asking* over skip bids. This most of us can do without giving 
themselves away.

Best regards
