I'm sorry, Sir.  5D is lead-directing, that's pure bridge logic and 
that's written in my system notes. And in that case, passing the double 
is *stronger* than correcting to the "commitment" 5H. So pass is a bad 
call, while 5H is normal.
At least that's Robson's theory. So, if the system notes read 
"commitment theory" and explain it (as mine do), you can't disallow the 
normal call.
