"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

The simulations strike again- overriding bidding rules.

sorry but double is not 'practically mandatory' - in GIB's system double is penalty. You may double if you like with your trumps, but that is slightly aggressive.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

A - correct, it will be fixed
B - GIB uses otherwise, it uses to show max values for the 2♥ and penalty length in spades. It's not reopening to test trap pass.
1♥ - Pass - 2♥ - 2♠
Double - is also penalty for GIB.
So in this case North "knows" partner didn't want to penalize the overcall as well.

Ok, sorry about B- I didnt know that GIB plays it as actual spades rather than maximal hand with shortness (seems not very practical to me, but good to know).

It is quite a common expert agreement (maximum balanced being the other one). maximum with shortness is odd.

I guess formally it just shows a max hand for the raise and willingness to compete (unless partner can penalize). It is pretty rare that you want to compete with 9 points and 3 cards in opponents suit, so I dont remember when was the last time I (or my p) bid it with more than doubleton, especially forcing partner to 3 level over ♠. This agreement always made more sense to me than waiting for the hand that has a singe raise only, but can penalty double a suit sitting in the finesse at 2 level opposite potentially minmum opener.
