[blml] When does perverse become not normal?

[Robin Barker]

Hearts are trumps, declarer has drawn two rounds and forgotten about H7.
CA has been played. 
Declarer (North), in hand, claims he can ruff a spade in dummy.

As far as I can see, the only line to lose a trick to H7 is to play a
diamond after ruffing a spade	and before playing trumps, so that West
can pitch a club and later ruff the third club.

This line seems perverse, but is it normal.
