"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"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."

This is an old problem whereby GIB prioritizes showing his 3-card limit raise over showing his own spade suit.

I understand the logic of what GIB is doing preparing to show a limit raise with 3 card support
but I dont now if its totally practical, if the six card suit was a minor none of us would complain about that

I am strong believer in bidding a spade over 1 heart with 4 or more spades even with 3 hearts. I play constructive raises so 1H, 2H describes a specific hand. A rebid of 2H after a 1 spade bid probably is weaker. A rebid of 2H after a 1 nt bid is absolutely weaker. I like playing a 4-4 fit with a secondary 5-3 fit.
