Funny that:

Many relay systems use a conventional 4D response once shape is
completely known.  4D requires that parter rebid 4H.  This bid is
known by a variety of names including the "End Signal" and "Terminator
Puppet"

(If we want to be pendantic, there are some occasions where RR can
break the end signal and bid past 4H with an exception hand - extra
strength, lots of extra controls, whatever.  However, there are a
number of occasions where this type of break is impossible - RR has a
limited hand or some such)

I think back to the halcyon dates of my youth, when indeterminant
Hessians had something to do with the Revolutionary War, where
conjugate priors were monks who had broken their vows, and the
expression (X'X)^-1(X'Y) was greek

Those were simpler times
