Why is that a LOL? Out of all the comments he makes that one was about as true as any! Partner will take a chance on slam if there is no room to investigate and he has to guess and can make opposite a decent minimum response.

Because we promised only a 5 count AND because our hand could be much worse even with the same values.

I agree bidding 6 or not is a guess for responder.

Who said we promised a 5 count? And why would partner play us for the worst possible hand in a competitive auction.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I asked on the non natural system section on the forums the meaning of this double and got this answer:

1♣ (1♠) X:

Is a Mild positive response, 7-8 AKQ points: AQQ, KKQ, AK which would be G.F. since 1♣ promises 17+ hcp unbalanced and 18+ hcp if balanced.
