It damned well ought to be. Maybe it's been too long since you
tried to teach anyone the game, John. I've been on the wrong end of
leading questions that confuse a novice partner (and the opps knew
it) and induce a misbid by suggesting some incorrect meaning for my bid
that said partner would never have thought of left to his own devices. 

It's the bidding equivalent of an Alcatraz Coup, IMO.
