Richard Hills:

My point is that **because** Eric, Marv and myself have
three rather different interpretations of Law 75C, the
Lawbook is automatically incapable.  If three blmlers who
have indulged in Talmudic dissection of the Laws still
differ, why should a mere club TD be able to draw subtle
inferences from "inferences from"?

For what it's worth, my definition of "general knowledge
and experience" is narrower even than Eric's definition.

I disclose all of the negative and positive inferences
pertaining to my partnership agreements, reserving my
definition of "general knowledge and experience" to such
truisms as, "you never go broke if you never sacrifice
vulnerable".
