In general, bids that were actually made will be LAs, but this problem 
is why I prefer to use L73C when a player does something "crazy."  If 
the TD judges he could reasonably have done it trying somehow to take 
advantage of the UI, even indirectly, then adjust the score.  If that 
could not reasonably have been the motive, then don't.

This sort of case must be very rare if it has ever happened at all.
