Uncontested auction:

1♥ - 2♥ - 4♠

Responder is taken aback. Perhaps the quizzical look (or even a comment) alerts opener to the fact that he pulled the wrong card. He calls you "straight away", maybe having got the hint from partner.
25A does not specifically mention 16B. Does it apply automatically?

No. It doesn't matter how a player becomes aware of an unintended call. He is allowed to change it, provided his partner has not yet called, and he does so (or at least expresses the desire or intent to do so, or calls the director) as soon as he becomes aware that the bid he made was not the one he intended to make.

I think the recent footnote to Law 25 is clear that Law 16 does not apply.

Quote

A player is allowed to replace an unintended call if the conditions described in Law 25A are met, no matter how he may become aware of his error

In a recent training course, we were supplied with stickers to this affect for our law books. There is a nice space for it to go.
