Matchpoints, ACBL robot individual

Note that South's 3 rebid still shows 17+, a requirement not standard to any version of 2/1 with which I am familiar. Note also that South has every bit of that, without considering shortness, yet North bids to an extremely low-percentage contract.

The problem here is that North continues to over-value shortness is partner's suits. One constantly hears about "simming." Is part of that not considering what it will do with its Jxxxx? Would not 4 over 3 have sufficed?

As a side note, those Souths who bid their hands in standard fashion, starting with 2, got a lead and ended up down 2 (or 3) trying to make the contract (AQ onside tight and friendly s I think will see you home). Those who bid a non-standard 2 first got the lead of Q and were down at trick 2, but West continued with a very friendly 10 and they ended up down only 1 for a great score. I'd be interested to know why bidding the same minor suits in reverse order triggers such a vastly different lead.
