If anyone wants to see the hand,

Brad thanked his partner for his vast confidence in his declarer play :)
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Brad Moss is the man.

I think imagining partner on a balanced 21 count makes pass even more clear. Would you rather be defending 3♦X or playing 4♥X?

Well on the actual hand I'd rather play 4HX. The Ts is a big card here.

I wasn't talking about the actual hand with its 5-5 heart fit, just a random balanced 21 count (which obviously can't have diamond length) opposite the problem hand.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

On the actual hand, the 5NT call to look for a grand slam is really hoping for magical card play by Brad Moss.

The less experienced partner is, the more one whould pass 3D (and have a tough lead problem - Trick 1 is the last time you will be able to lead through dummy to partner), because inexperienced players tend to overbid strong hands more than experts do.

3H. Pass, if 3D makes, is likely to erode partner confidence.

Besides the fact that it may be impossible to erode Moss's confidence, I would not worry about this and just try to find the call that has the highest IMP expectancy.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.
