isnt all this "oh no partner will lead spades vs 3NT :rolleyes:" a little nonsensical? what if we're on lead against 3NT? then they never would have bid it had we opened 1♣. why is LHO the Big Favorite to declare NT?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Yes that's a pretty big stretch of an argument. Not to mention by opening 1♠ partner is less likely to be on lead than if we open 1♣ anyway.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.
