+=+ I can quote an opinion expressed by the WBF CTD whose
experience is considerable. He says "if the Director is summoned 
at once all he does is to note the reason for the call and tell the 
players to finish the hand.  It makes good sense for him not to be 
called until the end of the play."    (Only if the alleged creation of 
UI is challenged is there then a  reason to spend a moment in 
assessing the facts.)
