IMP, best hand south, pro gib v 30

I don't think this is a bug. Or if it is, it is not serious. But it made me think.

2S obviously shows a stronger hand than 1S, but it is still non-forcing. So, what should 3S raise of 2S by South show? If you mouse over the option it shows a minimum double with support. Well, if you have a minimum double you will have support. Does pass just show 3 card trump support? You only need 12 points to bid 3S per GIB.

No problem.
Gib N have 5-card ♠ suit with singleton in ♣,so there is 9 total points in Gib N hand.
but if 2♠ only with 4 card,it is not good.

I like this agressive bidding syle.

This might be one of those "least common denominator" descriptions: you need either stronger-than-minimum spade support or more-than-minimum strength for to bid 3♠, but GIB can't say that in its explanation. He only can say that you have at least 3 spades and at least 12 points, but he knows that you must have more of one or the other.
