I always thought once partner has made a penalty double, that all further doubles by the partnership are PENALTY! The description even correctly had what my bidding said I had.
"It's not enough to win the tricks that belong to you. Try also for some that belong to the opponents."

"Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself."

"One advantage of bad bidding is that you get practice at playing atrocious contracts."

It's almost certainly the case that North simulated that there was more upside to bidding and making a vulnerable game opposite partner's five-card major than there was setting a doubled but non-vulnerable partscore.
