I'd like to add to those important questions :
- am I liable to penalties if I stick a Diamond between the Hearts ? (I 
might as well stop playing)
- am I liable to penalties if I don't see an Ace ?
- and above all, am I liable to penalties if I decide to make a tactical bid ?
When I hold 5314 pattern, and answer 2S to a Multi 2D (the systemic bid 
being 3H, of course), in the hope of inducing them into playing in spades ?

To cut it short, we risk the same paranoïd thinking as exists nowadays 
about psyches.
No doubt they won't believe me in the case above, pretend I made a misbid 
and tought I was showing spades, and penalize me. I don't like this at all.

Best regards
