The intention is not to give Misinformation, the intention is to omit 
giving Unauthorized Information. While doing so, the information that is 
given correctly describes the intended meaning of partner's bid and 
paints an accurate picture of partner's hand.
It is the intention of the DWS'er to correctly explain the systemic 
meaning of the bid during the correction period. Giving the systemic 
meaning sooner could be construed as deliberately misinforming 
oppoonents of partner's meaning and hand.
I failto see why Richard (and others) cannot look past the "no lying to 
opponents" argument to see the bigger picture that avoiding giving UI is 
a good thing.
