AG : the word "class", in TFLB, doesn't mean "school of thought" ; but 
rather "level", as is apparent in the footnote of L70.

AG : granted. What would logical alternatives be aftetr a sequence where 
former bids were ridiculous ? Remain ridicule ?

NB : I would unquestionably have bid 6S on KQ3 KJT8742 85 A (with some 
partners, 5H would be FNJ). My partners' overcalls are quite sound unless 
short in their suit.

More generally, I'd like to see something written to the point that, after 
making a NF bid and receiving lowest-level support, pass is always a LA.
