Richard Hills:

I prefer my pard to eschew pulling my penalty doubles.

It seems to me inconsistent that a North who is willing
to defend 3D undoubled is not willing to defend 3D
doubled, especially when North's high cards are well
placed for defence in the unbid suit (except for the
jack of diamonds, which in turn might create a trump
trick for South).
