       I believe that it was neither the intention nor the effect of the 
 2007 Laws that  this simple procedure should not continue in 
place. I continue to maintain that when some tricks are claimed 
and others conceded this is one indivisible act; an objection to 
either the claim or the concession is an objection to both. Play 
continues as Law 68B2 requires (and may perhaps be viewed 
as evidence under Law 70D3).

It might be an idea to put the words "or claim" after the word "concession"
in L68B2. Then, everyone will know what is meant.

Curiously enough, the first contribution I can remember making to BLML was
on the topic of whether a concession of some tricks was the "same thing as"
or merely "part of" an implied claim of the remaining tricks. DWS kept
saying that in those circumstances "a claim is a concession" meant that they
were one and the same thing, but that was of course nonsense.
