Fair enough, but is it really stringent enough?  Rectification would 
presumably come under L12A1, which in effect asks what would have 
happened without the irrregularity.  Don't we want a player with UI to 
be forced to choose a non-suggested LA, even if he probably would have 
chosen differently absent UI?

That strikes me as "creative" reading of L10B and also too stringent. 
What if the suggested option is the only LA?

Applying the UI rules seems just right and well within the current 
wording of L16B1a.  The question is whether new Laws should keep it that 
way.
