Assumption. How do you know what the WBFLC knows full well?
The provision has not been removed.

Uh, huh. With whom did you consult?
It is not the concession, nor the rejection of the concession, that is the problem here. It is the postulated prior agreement by this pair that one player will concede with the missing card in a "two way finesse" situation and his partner will immediately object. If that's not a violation of Law 73B2 then we might as well throw the law book in the trash. All TD rulings will then become very simple: "sorry, there's nothing I can do. There are no rules in this game."
My recollection includes Stevenson, Burn, and Probst.
