Not everyone is a cheat. There are rules as to what to alert, and
those are things that require ot be alerted. In fact, players often get
the alerting rules wrong.
But presumptions that people who make mistakes are unethical is very
unfair, and nowhere near the truth. If an ethical player's partner
alerts [or does not] when he does not expect it, it makes little
difference because he will not benefit from the UI.
For most people there is no question of sending semaphore signals:
most people try to play better than others, not to cheat.
