Restricted choice only applies when the cards are *equals*, and the person playing the honor could have played the other one with exactly the same outcome. It doesn't apply at all to this situation.

From the small world department: The mug shots for Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas appeared in the evening news stamped with "Alexandria Sheriff's Office". I used to play golf with the former sheriff. His jail has hosted quite a few high profile defendants over the years including Robert Hanssen, a spy, Zacarias Moussaoui, a 9/11 terrorist, Aldrich Ames, a spy, Harold Nicholson, a spy, Judith Miller, an NYT reporter, Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. and Paul Manafort. We once played in a rain storm with a group of 20 or so friends all of whom, except me and the sheriff, quit before finishing the front nine. On the back nine, the sun came out and we were like two kids playing like we had the world to ourselves, hitting a few memorable shots even, and feeling about as far away from the day-to-day world as you could get.
