Steve, if I _answer_ a question (which I am compelled by law to do), or 
if I _volunteer_ information (which I do willingly), would you say it is 
the same? Of course both may give UI, but (as the WBFLC tells us, see 
CoP) if I do so _without design_, being forced by law to do so, I commit 
no infraction. So if I commit no infraction by answering truthfully, but 
I commit an infraction by lying, which shall it be? Partner is not 
allowed to use UI in any case.
