If the robot can have the hand that it has, then this
bid is 100% meaningless.

It gives opener no clue at all about the right action.

Leave it in?
Bid a new suit.
Bid their own suit ?

Luckily, it did not really matter this time

Welcome to the club !

I've been fighting the programmers for some time now on ajusting hand values for known duplication of values and also not making splinter bids with singleton As, Ks and Qs so as to not create those duplication of values situations. Looks like I'm preaching in the desert !

Baraka, your points have some validity but they are far from universally agreed. And even if they were, GIB makes far more egregious - and more easily correctable- errors than splinters with high honors. (The OP is an excellent example) This cannot be a high priority item.
