[blml] Réf. : Re: adjudication

[Alain Gottcheiner]

-------Message original-------
 
When we walrus declare 12-14 HCP (say) we mean 12-14 HCP. Others
declare 12-14 HCP and mean 10-16 HCP.
 
Apparently, I'm unique in BLML in advocating that the law should
insist that pairs declare HCP accurately and adjustments separately.
 
 
AG : you're (more or less) unique in not realizing that 10-16 isn't "an
accurate description" when 10 HCP and 16 HCP openings will come once in a
blue moon, and that "12-14, with the following adjustments ..." is more
useful to the opponents than "10-16, which includes the following
adjustments ...". Or perhaps you forgot that the aim of explanations isn't
numerology, but helpfulness.
 
 
Regards
