Telling partner he has given a mistaken explanation is definitely 
against the Law (75D2) as well.  This dilemma -- which Law to violate -- 
is the _weak_ case for dWS.  (Normally, one would say the specific Law 
overrides the general.  Why not here?)

Those who so vociferously assert that Herman is wrong would gain some 
credibility if they could explain the _strong_ case for dWS.  Herman may 
indeed be wrong, but so far I don't see any evidence that anyone saying 
so understands his point.

Ton and Grattan: if the WBFLC has issued an opinion on this subject, I 
haven't seen it.  While I'm not convinced Herman is right in the weak 
case, neither am I convinced he's wrong.  He almost certainly is right 
in the strong case, but there's no need for any interpretation on that one.
