Has GIB never heard of Garbage Stayman (though that hand isn't exactly garbage, mind you)? I have witnessed 2 other examples, except I redealt those hands so I don't have links. What really irks me is that I'm sure that we can get to 3♠, and that was the one I needed the whole freaking time.

I don't think GIB plays garbage stayman, pretty sure 1NT-2C-2D-2M is invitational.

It will use GS with the classic shape ( 4450 )

I think most humans would pass 1N with the N hand, but I'm willing to be convinced otherwise :)
