Richard Hills:

It seems to me that the burden of Law 27B1(b) selection is
placed upon the player.

Zone 7 LC:

>>* If the Director is unclear whether to allow the correction
>>without restriction under Law 27B1(b), or to require the
>>offender's partner to pass throughout the remainder of the
>>auction under Law 27B2, the Director is advised to err on the
>>side of applying Law 27B1(b) but stand ready to apply 27D.
>>
>>* I.e. the inclination of the Director ought to be on
>>obtaining a normal bridge result wherever possible.

Richard Hills:

That is, the Zone 7 LC has interpreted the Law 27B1(b) phrase
"in the Director's opinion" as meaning "in the Director's
_provisional_ opinion, trusting the undercaller in doubtful
cases, but the Director's _provisional_ opinion may later be
revised via a subsequent Law 27D ruling".
