This has been one of my frequent comments lately. This example shows one of the biggest discrepancies between what the description says and what the bid actually shows. The good news is, the bid is sensible, the description obviously is not.

Check out the description of the 2S bid. Not even possible if the 1NT call and the double are legit. The hand is one where it is reasonable to run out from the double to a 5 card suit, and GIB did so. One just has to learn from experience the situations when the bid is OK when the description is nonsense, and bid accordingly. There are more of these than you would think.

Or, BBO could get someone busy improving the descriptions where no programming changes are necessary, as in this case. You think??
