[blml] A day late and a dollar short

While I was responding to a thread on the BBO forums about Law 16, it  
occurred to me that Law 16A1 might have been better if worded "When a  
player considers that an opponent has made such information available  
and that damage could well result, he should obtain agreement from  
the opponents as to the facts, summoning the Director immediately if  
the opponents dispute the fact that unauthorized information might  
have been conveyed." This has the same practical effect as the  
current law (substantially unchanged in the new laws), at least in  
the ACBL, except it places the onus to call the director on the  
player who asserts there was UI rather than on the opponents who  
don't agree. I don't see a problem with it, but it was my idea, so  
maybe I'm blinded by my own brilliance :)). Anyway, what does the  
list think?
