What would it mean to a rational human being? Diamonds.

The Robot "thought" it showed diamonds, even if the explanation offered by the system was Michaels.

As Spock would say, "Fascinating!"

There's a problem with the explanation system here, as if the Robot wanted to show the majors he could have cued 2♦ on the first round. The balancing 2♦ should always show diamonds in this spot, lest a player be robbed entirely of his ability to bid the minor naturally whenever an opponent opens a convenient minor.
There is a big difference between a good decision and a good result. Let's keep our posts about good decisions rather than "gotcha" results!

Thanks for reporting. It was a bug, where the explanation was wrongly put there. Corrected in the next update.

The meaning for the particular hand would be here 2♦ - -- 5+ ♦; 10+ HCP; 16- total points
