Answer to (2) is : yes, even if you scratch out ' and illogical'.
FWIW, 'illogical way' is hard to define.

A natural 2C opening (eg Blue Team) is alertable.
A penalty double of a weak 2-bid (which is 'natural' according to the 
definition, and quite logical when you see modern weak 2's) is alertable 
(in countries where *some* doubles are).
