They sent it back...

Ok :)

One needs to be pretty far-sighted, though, to count in the possibility that it might go XX-slow pass-pass- back to us, if we double 5♥, and therefore we'd better not double.

Remote, maybe in this case. But there are a whole array of dog-walks, misbids, etc., where the player has another chance to do what he/she should have done the previous time --yet could be constrained from doing so because of table action. We are better off not setting ourselves up.

 

We have had threads on this, before ---such as using a Bergen raise when we intended to proceed to game all along... or

 

(1H) 1S (3H) 3S

(4H) P! (P) 4S with a 4S bid, on the last round.

 

At best these are merely annoying to partner and the opponents; at worst, some UI crept in.

Yes sure, but running from an unexpected redouble is hardly comparable to those.
