This clause doesn't assume that the players know what they're doing - but the laws wash their hands of what happens, regardless.

I guess what I meant was that the lawgivers assumed that when they added the clause.

Similar to other laws that give players options after irregularities, like require/prohibit a lead when partner of a penalty card gets on lead. If your choice turns out badly, you have no recourse.
