Tim West-Meads:

>>Any talk of a "red psych" is the work of a drivelling idiot.

>>There may be a failure to disclose on the CC and/or a failure

>>subject to a pp for wilful non-disclosure if deemed

Richard Hills:

If I join my voice to Tim and John in the wilderness, is it
still wild?

It is indeed the work of a drivelling sponsoring organisation
to describe its "Wilful Non-Disclosure" regulation as a "Red
Psyche" regulation, since that can easily lead to confusion.

Indeed, such drivelling confused such a highly experienced blml
analyst as Nigel Guthrie into thinking that the EBU has chosen
to deliberately ignore an official WBF Code of Practice
interpretation.

Nigel Guthrie:

>>>Richard advocates the mainstream definition: "deliberate
>>>gross departure from agreed methods".
>>>
>>>I prefer the EBU interpretation which seems to be:
>>>"deliberate gross departure from disclosed methods."

WBF Code of Practice, page 8:

"A partnership may not defend itself against an allegation
that its psychic action is based upon an understanding by
claiming that, although the partner had an awareness of the
possibility of a psychic in the given situation, the partner's
actions subsequent to the psychic have been entirely normal.
The opponents are entitled to an equal and timely awareness of
any agreement, explicit or implicit, since it may affect their
choice of action and for this reason the understanding must
be disclosed."
