Nope - there seems to be a misinterpretation of
the ruling by Richard Hills.

No, it isn't a factor at all. If West is told by South that 2D shows
hearts then he has a clear-cut pass over 2D - 
why would he want to bid anything at this point
with his hearts when partner can have 0 HCP?
Then his partner doubles 2H - West assumes long
hearts are on his right so he passes over 2H
with his heart holding.
West won't know about the misunderstanding
until dummy comes down.

No - the AC didn't overrule the TD at all. So what exactly
are you talking about?

PS - could you please stop adding this [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]
piece to the subject line? In ruins the threading both in my
mailer and on the BLML archives page.
