Perhaps what's unfair about this law is asking directors to figure out what the hell it means. So it's unfair to directors. I suppose it's also unfair to players in that case, but what remedy do you suggest? Keep in mind the reason why the law was added to the book (IMO to allow a "normal bridge result"). Is there any way to get such a result without this law?
The trouble with trying to get a normal bridge result is that that ship has sailed. So you might as well use mechanical remedies, which were well understood and easy to apply.
