It is truth that the 2007 Law 12B1 says "_because_ of an infraction".

It is fable that the 2007 Law 12B1 says "_after_ an infraction" or "_after_
a restriction imposed as rectification for an infraction".

In a Bridge World editorial discussing the distinction between "consequent"
and "subsequent", Edgar Kaplan noted that a bad bridge result was subsequent
to the Battle of Waterloo, but was not _because_ of the Battle of Waterloo.

Indeed. But in the given scenario [North corrects an IB to 3NT, barring
South and missing a 95% 6NT that fails] North-South played in 3NT _because_
North committed an infraction; if he had not done so, North-South would have
played in 6NT.
