Interesting. Notice that it doesn't mean *partner* has forgotten his 
system, but I imagine a bid meaning "your last bid is impossible IMHO 
because there are only 4 aces / 3 tops / 12 controls, please reconsider" 
would be legal. It's somewhat different of "I know you're wrong".

Notice, too, that it happened once that I "knew" there were at least 43 
points in the pack :
1NT*   D    p**   p
XX      p     p       p***

*9-11
**forces a redouble  
Alex is the kind of guy who would prefer to jump from that particular 
pan into the fire, so he expects them to go down, and I hold more than a 
minimum for my double.

Well, the answer was fairly simple : there were indeed 43 points in the 
pack, in the form of a second SK, standing in for the C6.

Now, assume a pair who know perfectly well what they're doing. You ask 
about top honors, get an answer of 2, and hold 2. Are you allowed to say 
"this is a fouled board" ?
What happens if you're wrong ?

Best regards
