"Make it good dearie". I'll get opener if he treats it as anything but 6-9
ish  under 27D. 


ton:
Goodness, you really persist in not understanding what the laws want you to
do.

Opener is entitled to guess what his partner meant to do. Partner is not
entitled to tell what he thought he was doing. (this answers a question from
David). And if opener guesses right that not necessarily means that there
was illegal communication. 

Take the following:    North 1S  East 1C. The guess is not that difficult
anymore is it? Are you going to punish players depending on the position
they are in when they commit this infraction?
