That's the easy example. What do you think of the following one ?

South opens 2H. On request, it is explained as a Dutch (!) two-suiter. 
South happens to hold a weak two-bid in hearts.

Would the Dutch decide there was misexplanation, even when the CC says 
the contrary ? Is this legal ?
And how do you intend to disallow South explaining he wanted to open a 
Multi 2D but took the next bidding card ? Or that he missorted his 63 
reds as 54 ?
And, above all, do they realize this will be a bonus on lying, a lie 
that is very difficult to detect (contrary to the MI / MB issue, which 
can be settled by looking at their system notes) ?

Best regards

   Alain
