This is a interesting Gib hand.

First, it normally goes :


Second, if south keep silent, agressive Gibs are unable to brake.



Note several people are same as south player.



Note west really have 10 TPs.

It is a bit unlucky that East's ♣ AK are worthless. I suspect many humans would bid the same way, and GIB would need a different Capp variant in order to address it. I don't think there is much to improve in terms of judgement.

I think TP evaluation approach does have a certain degree of one-sidedness.

2♣ shows a 1 suited hand. 3♦ shows 15-20 points (handing out shortness points in partner's suit is really hopeless) so essentially game forcing. I can't believe any simulations are going to show bidding game opposite a random balance with a singleton in partner's suit is going to end up with a positive expectation.
