No, and you would be OK in ruling like that.
And then a case comes up, and I state that I explain partner's call 
consistent with his previous explanation because I believe partner was 
right and I misbid. No mention of DWS whatsoever. How are you going to 
prove your 1VP PP to an AC when you don't have a mind reader present 
to show that I did not really believe my partner was right?
