What would double have shown directly over 1♠?

It would have showed the same as the description of the delayed double. Clearly, if the descriptions were accurate, the balancing double must show less.

When I say "accurate" I mean conforming with sound bridge logic, not how GIB interprets the call.

The exact meanings of double over 1♠ are " Two suit takeout -- 4+♣,4+♦,5-♥,5-♠,12+ total points ".

So pass followed by double shows a BETTER hand according to the description. What nonsense. And yet my long-time contention that the descriptions are essentially broken and need to be completely revamped doesn't get much support.
