Re: In between Law 23

Steve:
Let A = 15+ any shape and B = weak with 10+ spades.  Obviously the _hand 
types_ A and B are very different. 

Jan:
That is exactly my argument.
A and B are very different.
Therefore, they cannot be similar.

A better way of explaining this occurred to me later.

Let A = 15+ any shape and B = weak with 10+ spades.  Obviously the _hand 
types_ A and B are very different.  However, if you have a call in your 
system meaning "A or B" and another call meaning "A", those _calls_ are 
similar because hand type B is for practical purposes nonexistent.  That 
is, B is very close to an empty set.

If you don't buy this, I can't think of anything else to say.

On a related subject: it appears to me that adjusted scores under L23C 
can be weighted, and the weights can include actions that might have 
been indicated by a withdrawn call.  Do others agree?  This is an 
important difference from a UI adjustment.
