I guess it wasn't clear how to poll.  Of course you don't tell pollees 
anything about forgetting.  You give them the system as it was explained 
at the table, and ask what call they choose.  If some pass or even say 
pass is worth considering, there's no evidence of MI.  If they all say 
pass is nuts, you can be pretty sure forgetting was part of the player's 
consideration, and failing to disclose it was MI.

There's also, of course, the question of damage.  Even if given proper 
information, the NOS wouldn't necessarily have gone right.  That needs a 
careful look at the hands, and a weighted score seems likely.
