Ethics? What are those?

Just a quick follow-up to the last post.

I was helping run a supervised play session the other day, when I saw the bidding at one table proceed 1C - Pass - 2C - Pass - Pass - Pass. The sweet little old lady who bid 2C had 5-card club support and 11 high-card points, so I asked why she didn't bid 3C. "I couldn't read my partner", she confessed. "I didn't think she had a good opening".

I managed not to scream too loud as I explained that you aren't allowed to bid based on your partner's facial expression.
