After responding 2♣ --- non-forcing in the passed hand,Gib E strangely rebid 2♦ only with 3-card ? And 2♦ says "...6+♦..."?

Because North was a passed hand, it changes everything. The 2♦ bid promised 6+ ♦, while denying more than 2 clubs. 3♦ showed 2+.

I imagine it did that because 2NT would have shown the big balanced hand, while 2M SHOULD be a reverse. It will bid 2M on less than 16 HCP if it has 3+ ♣ and has 16+ points feels like it.

I do have a problem with the 3♦ description on the hand below, however, since I have NO WAY to splinter to show slam interest (imagine giving South ♠xx ♥x ♦ AKxx ♣AKQxxx):

"It's not enough to win the tricks that belong to you. Try also for some that belong to the opponents."

"Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself."

"One advantage of bad bidding is that you get practice at playing atrocious contracts."

That is a wrong description.

Opposite a passed hand, Gib should be passing 2♣ with min balanced hands.
