If you are asked what 2NT is in response to a weak two you should say whether it is Ogust or a feature ask or whatever.
If one were to reply "keycard asking", that would not be MI.
If you play Ogust responses, and reply "asks for clarification", how is that MI?
If you play feature responses, and reply "asks for clarification", how is that MI?
If you are not sure what responses, and reply "asks for clarification", doesn't that avoid problems?
If your partner is not sure what responses, and you reply "Ogust", hasn't that helped your side?
If your partner is not sure what responses, and you reply "feature", hasn't that helped your side?
Avoiding giving UI to partner is a good thing, as long as it doesn't interfere with full disclosure or not giving opps MI.
I fail to see how it can be helpful to the opponents what the responses are to these bids, but even if it could, it seems better for them to only ask follow ups when needed. As an opponent in this situation, I would much rather it be this way.
