So, a cow flew by, and I opened 1NT thinking I had an extra king which was not there. Partner raised to 3, not knowing the cow had flown by. It made because everything worked.
How is that different from my making an insufficient bid sufficient, overstating my values, when partner cannot use the information from the insufficient bid to make his decision? Players get fixed all the time by poor actions that work for the opponents. We live with it.

The difference is that Law 27D exists, similar Laws in different situations do not. When a pair reach a contract through an insufficient bid and correction Law 27B1 then Law 27D applies.
If you make it sufficient in the way you suggest Law 27D still applies, so it can still be adjusted.
