Also, there might be contradictions in your notes, so perhaps all 180  
pages should be examined before making a ruling.

I assume that if my partner and I agree to play a book (for example we are  
learning Precision) that we can submit the book. (I'm pretty sure our book  
has contradictions.)

Ironically, my regular partner and I haven't updated our notes. If we have  
updated our system and I forget the convention and misexplain my partner's  
bid, we will be able to document that it is a misbid even though it is  
not. But no harm, the mistake is equally likely to go in the other  
direction.

Hmmm, there must be an easier way to do this.
