Help
Partner may very well guess that we have 2-1-4-6 pattern if we pass. He will get fairly close to that. That makes me want to pass. He will get it right.
To explain. He will look at his heart length and assume we have a stiff. He will be pessimistic about spades and will assume a doubleton. Why no bid by us, then? 4-6 in minors. Stuff like that. He will just read this right. When I have the hand I would exp[ect partner to guess that I have, I probably do not need to be aggressive and can shoot low.
Respond to negative double

"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

Pass is usually some balanced 12-14 hand.
That's not true, it's usually a minimum but no reason that it's usually balanced, at least not by any more than you hold balanced hands vs unbalanced hands. You just invented that part out of thin air
So since we are minimum.... This is unreadable for me. If you wish me to comment, please rewrite it.
