Strangely GIB bid 4♦ is alerted as The law:10 trump--> game support,2+D,-11hcp,10-12 total points.
I guess it maybe derived from The Law of Total Tricks,I don't think that is a good idea,it is best to look for 3nt according to Harmann's Law

I think this is more of a case of GIB not having special rules for handling 4th seat preempts vs. other seats, and is bidding what it would opposite a standard weak two.

At least the opps didn't get to their cold 4♥! East should arguably throw in a light 3rd seat opener.

I think you mean "Hamman". Harman's law would be that all hands must have 10 HCP on every board. :)
