AG : but they are only entitled (have legal right) to the latter. If partner
overcalls a CRaSh 1S (both majors or both minors), they're allowed to know
exactly that. If I pass that overcall, they know it's 95% probable we have a
misfit, but don't know who holds what, and we know. This doesn't mean we're
cheats, it means that CRaSh is a good system.
 
A live case : partner overcalled 1D over a strong club, showing a weak hand
with either major. When I later doubled 4H, they had to guess whether :
- I hold a stack in hearts
- I hold a strong hand, and know from my holding and their bidding that
partner holds hearts.
 
Declarer (an experienced player with good knowledge of artificial bidding)
didn't guess, 
and -2 became -4.
 
Please don't tell me I had to reveal which was partner major. They have
indeed use for this information, but aren't entitled to it, according to the
last sentence of L75C. 
 
Best regards
