Richard Hills:

In 1990s ACBL casebooks it was argued that the non-
offending side should keep their bad score after
the offending side used Hesitation Blackwood to bid
a very inferior but very lucky slam.

This idea has been revoked by the 2007 Law 12B1:

"...Damage exists when, because of an infraction,
an innocent side obtains a table result less
favourable than would have been the expectation had
the infraction not occurred..."
