Also, the average player does know, I think, the difference 
between receipt of UI and use of UI, but knows that he 
cannot tell the difference, if you know what I mean. This is 
one of the reasons why it is important to try to minimise the 
creation of UI. It makes people unhappy even if they are not 
damaged by it (or if, for various reasons, the director is never 
called in the first place).

+=+ I am reading this topic but I am not altogether sure where 
it is leading. Law 16 has attempted to make as clear as possible 
the treatment of UI. Presumably magazines and pundits, appeals 
committees, tournament directors quietly, will devote attention to 
the 'education' of players who have difficulty with the subject.
It is unlikely that an esoteric message board will have the breadth 
of readership to get the message across where it is needed. 
       But, Stefanie, explain for me a little more of your thinking.
Where do you suggest change is both desirable and possible?
