[blml] Is ordinary Stayman no longer artificial?

[Jerry Fusselman]

Is ordinary Stayman no longer artificial?  I ask because of the 2007 law's
definition:  "Artificial call — is a bid, double, or redouble that conveys
information (not being information taken for granted by players
generally) other than willingness to play in the denomination named or
last named; or a pass which promises more than a specified amount of
strength or if it promises or denies values other than in the last suit
named."

Since ordinary Stayman is taken for granted by players generally, it
is not artificial by this simple logic:  The information ordinary
Stayman conveys is entirely taken for granted by players generally, so
there is no information left that was removed by the parenthetical
phrase, so it conveys none of that special information, so it cannot
be artificial.  Do I have that right?  Seriously, I think I could have
done a better job with that definition.  The parenthetical messes up
the intended meaning---it would have been better to use a clarifying
second sentence.
