You can flame my bidding all you want, I was just fooling around.

However, notice I can *never* play 5C even though robot bids them!

After robot bids 3C (natural, and I bid 4C),
robot bids 4S and says 5C is a cuebid.

So if robot is never offering clubs as a viable place to play,
then it should never bid them.

Is KQ973 a twice rebiddable suit? Twice rebiddable means biddable 3 times, right?
Psych (pron. saik): A gross and deliberate misstatement of honour strength and/or suit length. Expressly permitted under Law 73E but forbidden contrary to that law by Acol club tourneys.

Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).
Masterminding (pron. mPosted ImagesPosted ImagetPosted Imager-mPosted ImagendPosted Imageing) tr. v. - Any bid made by bridge player with which partner disagrees.

Yes.
And I would better tell the following story.

The description of your 4C correctly stated it showed only 2 spades. Given that it knew that and bid 4S anyway, I think it is reasonable that GIB would not expect you to bid again.
