Should there be an explanation for the 5N bid?

hello
i would understand enough for slam, willing to discover a minor fit 4/4.
it seems that sakurakan is so contemptuous about bots that he does not credit them for having heard about stayman.6 hearts is better than 6 NT here.

Only 4 of the 10 human Souths started with Stayman, although this was the only one to choose 5N.

Old fashioned standard meaning of 5nt is "forcing to 6, invitational to 7". I don't remember ever using this in 20 years of play!
If GIB wants to accept in 4 cd suits up the line at 6 or 7 level, that's probably OK too.
OTOH after something like jacoby transfer, 5nt should be "choice of slams", between suit transfer showed and 6nt.

GIB did this several weeks ago when playing with me, and i was one of only several that understood what it meant,
quite a few people passed 5NT. Now when playing a range like 20-21( mine was 2NT) i could only imagine that to bid 7NT you must have
some unbid long suit 5-6 bagger.

You had a game where GIB bidded 5NT after 1NT opening?
