Why do you not understand that explanations are for opponents' benefit, not 
yours?  Here is something that might help:

Accept the premise that a side responsible for an irregularity should do no 
better than break even as a result. When there has been just a single 
misexplanation, DWSists are in the same boat as normal players, and the side 
may well be damaged.

But after a second misexplanation, the OS, following DWS principles, may 
escape the damage that they were at first in danger of. Thus they are doing 
better than breaking even as a result of an irregularity (the second 
instance of giving MI).

A pair should never benefit from its own irregularity. Can you accept that, 
Herman?
