FYI -- the majority here was the majority vote among the pro's. Pass.
Perhaps as Devil's Advocate, a few thoughts against this conventional wisdom:
Should not the partner with the shortness in the opposition suit stretch to take action?
If Dealer passes, with the exact pattern expected for a double, how is Responder, much less likely to be suitable, supposed to act properly?
How much does a double here show, as opposed to a 4C call?
If 3C-X is penalty, which partner can make a takeout? Is a pass implicitly takeout-shaped?

"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."
