Especially given GIB's Double of 5D, I thought that GIB's signal at trick 3 was very "human"
Now if we could only teach GIB to lead partner's suit...

Love the hand and the signal
It is much easier for you to teach GiB to lead partner's suit than it is for us poor mortals to teach our human partners to do likewise

Well, IMO, it's just a coincidence that gib pitches the highest card that it doesn't think it may cost a trick, in this case it is the ace of diamonds. IMO, it's very simple to at least implement a counting signal, as wbridge5 does, which is still a significant improvement and also helps solving a lot of defensive problems.
