[blml] But me no buts [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[Sinot Martin]

Hmm, looks to me that it is E, because this "but" is used differently in
different Laws.

For example: see L53A, where the "but" indicates an exception: you may
accept a premature lead, but not if 47E1 applies. This would indicate
(a).

On the other hand: in 26A1, the "but" is a reminder: you don't get a
penalty there, but you are not off the hook, for L16C still applies
(because 16C always applies whenever there is a withdrawn action, unless
the Laws explicitly state that it does not apply). L16C is not an
exception here, so it is not (a), but it is also not (b), because L16C
in itself does not have anything to do with lead penalties; it just
applies at the same moment. So I would go for (e): depends on the Law.
