The problem is, there are times when you must go "against the odds" because it is the only way to make a contract. Also, I bid much better with my regular partner than I do even with other superior players, because I know his methods, quirks, and even unconscious intonations so well. I realize this type of information is illegal, but I'm sure everybody uses it, and this is something impossible to program.
