Richard Hills:

I would argue "Incapable lawbook!" rather than "Incapable
director!"

The director has simply made a ruling in accordance with
the Marvin French interpretation of Law 75.  Law 75A
requires all "special" partnership agreements to be
disclosed, but Marvin French would argue that a Goren's
Bridge Complete jump to 3H is not "special", so need not
be disclosed.

And the fact that Goren defines all jump raises as game
forcing Marvin French defines as "general knowledge and
experience" under Law 75C, so again Marvin French would
argue that this information need not be disclosed.

The possibility that Ed might never read Goren's Bridge
Complete is irrelevant to a Marvin French interpretation
of Law 75.  So, until Law 75 is rewritten, Ed cannot
legally gain any satisfaction against a Director whose
rulings are French fried.

:-)
