. . . you proudly point out your reasoning, and West makes a mock apology to his partner for discarding a loser. Dummy (*** *******) sardonically points out that West is right to apologise, because if declarer realised that his club10 was a winner, he would have claimed five minutes ago. Thus, West should recognise the "Forgetful Expert" discovery play, and foil it by keeping his worthless club.

It's tough at the top. (Apparently).
