Suppose an insufficient bidder explains to the TD that his IB was intended as a psyche. Is the player now allowed any substitution, so long as it is also a gross misrepresentation of honour strength and shape?

If he means he meant to make an insufficient bid then we explain the law about deliberate infractions and some how "throw the book" at him.
If he meant to psyche a bid he thought was sufficient, we ask him what auction he thought he was in, and ask him what his call would have meant (systemically) in the auction he thought he was in. We then apply Law 27B1 to that "intended" meaning.
