[blml] failure to see an alert

Would it be beyond all possible agreement to have a player suffering from 
such a disease (or just plain stiff neck) to tell his opponent : "please 
alert by waiving the card such-and-such and I'll acknowledge by doing 
this-and-this, so if I don't it means I didn't see" ? Would any TD disallow 
the player to look for such an agreement ?

The player with the illness can surely envision the problem ; this is not 
like unexpected problems caused by improbable outside circumstances (as in 
: what do yo dou when a kibitzer turns your cards downside up ?). It's his 
duty to endeavour avoiding the (foreseeable) problems.

Best regards

Alain
