Sorry, I have always been under the impression that
you among all are very consistent about obeying the laws of bridge, and Law 21F is very specific that questions can be made (quote)

seeked by a player making an asking bid, but cannot also include specifications on how the response calls shall be decoded to give this information. (That must be part of explaining the answer calls - at the time an answer call has been made.)
If explanations of answer calls were to be included with the explanation of an asking bid, then the opponent asking about a call must also be allowed to request information on the impact on answer calls by any interfering call other than pass from that opponent. I do indeed hope we agree that such requests are clearly beyond the scope of questions permitted in Law 21F?
