Ghestem is the number one cause of director headaches in the Netherlands, to the point that I have heard directors say they always rule against the pair that had a Ghestem misunderstanding, no matter the situation. In fact, in one tournament there was a specific Ghestem clause added to the list of tournament rules, warning us that they would be merciless. So use it at your own peril. Misunderstandings like this are very common.
If the Dutch are so absent-minded, that explains why my father moved to England. He always said he was on his way to Canada but never made it there. Poor old fellow probably forgot where he was going...
