Richard Hills:

If that is what current Law says (and Sven Pran, for one,
seems to agree with my narrower definition of GK&E) then I
freely violate current Law.

In previous threads I have revealed how I am careful to
describe negative inferences from my Symmetric Relay
auctions to my opponents, including when "partner jumps to
game", even if previously available information allows the
opponents the option of deducing those negative inferences
for themselves.  Why should the opponents be forced to use
mental gymnastics to comprehend an unusual system when I
can give them straightforward full and free disclosure?
