Anticipating that partner forgot an agreement that seldom occurs is acceptable I guess. But (1X)-p-(1Y)-1NT is not rare at all, you encounter this every session!

I disagree. I don't even remember the last time I had a 5-5 hand in the unbid suits when the auction went this way.

I realise I said the auction 1X-pass-1Y-1NT is frequent, but I actually meant 1X-pass-1Y-???.

Either you play sandwich, or you don't. In all my partnerships it's clear what I play, since the auction 1X-pass-1Y occurs VERY often and I need to know what to do. You need 5-5 to bid 1NT so it doesn't come up every session, but as I expected you know what 1NT means.

Psyching when both opponents have already bid is just stupid imo.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

Double!
My regular partner knows his system, the auction is fairly frequent, he does not psyche, we stand to gain tons of imps. I really don't care which opponent has gone bananas. One thing is sure, I have consistently faith in my partners bids and I am confident that it is winning tactics in the long run. Only if partners bids are obviously inconsistent will I have to look to the opponents bidding to guess what went wrong. If you really don't have faith in partner you can speculate if he did mistakenly place 1NT on the table rather than 2NT. Or did he somehow think it was I and not LHO who bid 1NT?
If I have made this specific agreement, then I will keep the agreement.
A partner can convince me to play nearly anything, but if partner breaks agreements, then you will fairly fast reach the point, that I wont be interested in playing any longer. Stick to your agreements.

Not quite two 'bids', but this is still one of my favorites:
