I am not keen on the distinction between pass and double being purely on values and entirely non-committal as to shape. All this hand does is reinforce my reservations.
Psych (pron. saik): A gross and deliberate misstatement of honour strength and/or suit length. Expressly permitted under Law 73E but forbidden contrary to that law by Acol club tourneys.

Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).
Masterminding (pron. mPosted ImagesPosted ImagetPosted Imager-mPosted ImagendPosted Imageing) tr. v. - Any bid made by bridge player with which partner disagrees.

How do you play 2♣ - 2♥ - P - (P); 2NT, Frances?

I play them both as strong balanced within a 2♣ 100% GF context. 2NT is simply more definitive.

East was trying to field imo - he though his partner had psyched with spades. But there is no punishment for abetting a crime that never took place.

If East passed because partnership experience told him to expect a psych, EW had a concealed partnership understanding. That's certainly punishable.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
