[blml] Double Dummy play [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[richard.hills at immi.gov.au]

WBF Code of Practice, page 7:

>>A player who, without design, makes unauthorized
>>information available to his partner does not commit an
>>infraction of law or propriety; it is the use of that
>>information that is a breach of the laws.

Grattan Endicott (WBF CoP co-author), 5th June 2007:

>> ... There is no *design* to convey UI when a player
>>answers a question that the laws require him to answer.
>>                                        Grattan ~   +=+

Herman De Wael:

>_Without Design_
>
>It is my contention that a player who answers
>"truthfully", while he could easily "lie" (I even use
>your words, not mine) gives UI _with design_.

>I therefore do not acknowledge that this sentence of the
>CoP has any bearing on our discussion.

Richard Hills:

Quis custodes ipsos custodiet?
Who shall guard the guardians?

Even Herman De Wael acknowledges that under WBF by-laws
the WBF Laws Committee are the guardians who have the
power to interpret the Lawbook.

But this debate is now bogging down into infinite regress.

Herman is now arguing that he is the guardian of the WBF
guardians, so Herman is now arguing that he has the power
to reinterpret a WBF interpretation contrary to the intent
of the authors of that WBF interpretation.

:-)
