Sorry, I can't reply to the list just now, but the above is why we have
L73A1 and 73C. Example: North makes a forcing bid and then says out loud
"Don't pass."  Pass was never a LA, and L16 doesn't apply, but the Director
is free to apply L12C1, judging the probability that South might have
passed absent the remark.

For this reason, the new wording of L73 needs to be checked.  It should
refer to an adjusted score, not a penalty, and not mention L16 except
perhaps as "see also."

Feel free to quote the above to BLML or the Yahoo group if you like.
