3 robots and the bidding was:

S W N E
P 1N 2D 2N
P 3C 3D ....

3D was sescribed as "4+D; 5+H; 5+S; 18+ total points"

It is amusing to play with a partner with 14 cards.

Do you feel that th effort needs to be expended to ensure the descriptions make bridge sense?

Unfortunately, there are lots of explanations like this.

The Capp 2 showed 5-5 majors. Then it bid a natural 3. So this ostensibly shows what it said.

But GIB sometimes deviates from the explanations, because it can't find a better bid (humans do this, too). Obviously, one of the suits is shorter than the explanation says.
