This approach has the added advantage that you don't give p the UI that you are unsure.
I think the UI of what you think it is is certainly more problematic. Partner tends to have definitive action they can take if they know how you're taking the bid. They don't if they don't know how you're taking it. I would think it's easier for partner to do the right thing, which is to assume you took it as he or she intended and bid accordingly, when it's a live possibility than it would be when he or she definitively knows you've misinterpreted their bid.
