AG : I don't understand that attack. L12 tells us what to do, and 
directors (and ACs) don't have that much left to interpretation. 
According to its specific phraseology, the NOS will obviously score 
-140, as it has been demonstrated that 3S= is quite a plausible result. 
As for the OS, it should be either -140 or -170 (if you think the latter 
is possible, on a club lead perhaps).
Note that, the 3H bid being obvious, pulling back to 2S isn't among the 
possibilities.
