To allow the player to calculate which trump is likely to be out, even though the player does not think a trump is out. That's allowing very careful, thoughtful play. > I agree with you in principle, but IMO you should let the player keep any trump which it is overwhelmingly likely that they know is low. Returning to the original hand, I wouldn't force declarer to play the 3 of trumps when they just ruffed the last trick with the 2 of trumps. That's much worse than careless.
