[blml] Obviously this is the prime duty

I choose to follow L75D2, so I believe I have no choice either!

[from another post]

No, the player should follow his L16 duties at all times.
And yes, those duties supersede the ones in L75D2 to not indicate that an
error has been made.

We may at last be making some progress. Obviously, Herman, you do not
actually choose to follow L75D2 - you will choose not to follow it if you
are under what you (correctly) consider to be the stronger provisions of
L16.

The view of the MS is that people should not follow L75D2 if they are bound
by the stronger provisions of Laws 16, 20F, 40A, 40B and 75A. Perhaps that
is why, in the 2007 Laws, the wording "may not indicate in any manner that a
mistake has been made" no longer appears in Law 75; instead, a player "must
do nothing to correct the mistaken explanation while the auction continues".
