Edit: And Cascade, you have the passes right, but the doubles are backwards. The immediate Double shows the nuts, the various stages of asking and delay show lower strength.

Do you have a source? That is what I was really after.

I don't. I'll support it as logical, though. A fast action means what you're doing is clearly right on your hand and a slow action means it's less clear. Also, ask then slow pass and ask then slow double should be right next to each other in strength for those cases when you really want to decide between them. You don't even need to discuss it with your partner, and you probably already do it (to some extent)!

Just the many opponents who played this against me, especially before the Announcements came in (and, of course, after the Announcements came in, but only for non-15-18 1NTs - it works just as well against "strong" NT). But I'm sure if you check my history for "WeaSeL over NT", you'll see several versions of me explaining it.
