Give me a break!!!
 
L73B1 reads as follows
**********************************************
B. Inappropriate Communication Between Partners
1. Gratuitous Information
Partners shall not communicate through the manner in which calls or plays
are made, through extraneous
remarks or gestures, through questions asked or not asked of the opponents
or through alerts and
explanations given or not given to them.
******************************************
 
> This says you can't use an answer to a question to deliberately 
communicate info
to partner.   It doesn't in any way say you are relieved of the obligation
to answer
questions about your agreements
 
 
AG : absolutely right ! And everybody now sees how and why L73 and L20
create a contradiction.
 
In Law, if the situation is such that you have to infringe some law, you can
t be chastised for having infringed one. One classical case : if the
organization of a crossroad is such that you have to bypass the continuous
line to see incoming traffic, you can't be declared at fault for doing so.
 
But of course the best way to deal with this is to either :
a) change at least one of the two laws.
b) explicitly state which law predomines in case of a conflict. Note that
this was the case pre-87 (L73 was par of properties, not laws) but not any
more.
 
(Note that the word "deliberately" isn't written in the law, so that your
translation is biaised)
 
Best regards
