[blml] Interaction between L27B1 and L10C1

- You've bid 2H. Do you realize that's an insufficient bid ?
- Yes, but I thought he had opened only ONE spade ...
- Dear Sir, auctions that didn't happen can't have any effect on 
anything, not even your mind. So you'd rather find something else.

I don't like this.
Facts are stubborn. And the fact that the player imagined the auction to 
be so-and-so is a fact.
(how you ascertain that fact is a horse of several different colors)

Once again, may I remember you that, in nearly every other game/sport,  
the state of mind of the player, at the moment he does something that 
contravenes the rules for that sport/game, is considered relevant.

Best regards
