Not at all. This could only be the case when South expects a probable 
infraction (e.g. after tempo). Here, there is nothing to suggest this. So 
how could South imagine a double shot plan could be used ? (this doesn't 
remove the fact that South's call is bad, but that's another story)

NB : unless it's the first time responder held a (4333) type (and I doubt 
it), L75's proviso about repeated deviations does apply.

Best regards.

   Alain.
