However, Law 23 does not bar better bids that you discover after the fact,
known as "rub of the green".

For example, if you make an insufficient bid which cannot be untangled, so
partner must call an enforced pass, and you choose a rational guess of
punting 3NT, you keep your top if the field has had a scientific auction to
6NT failing by one trick due to a 5-0 break.
