I should have said if it is balanced you have 18-19, but people are right other hands can make the bid, either hands that you hope are worth about the same (like maybe 16 with long diamonds) or slightly weaker hands without a better bid, like 4441 17. My main point is that there is no way it is ever 12-14 balanced, that hand would just pass, this 2NT bid is invitational to game.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Yeah of course, sorry. I tend to blast away with these comments without first thinking about it.
