Scoring: MP

P 1♦! 2♥ X
3♥ ?



1♦ is artificial, showing an unbalanced hand with 11-15 hcp and no 5-card major. It says nothing about diamond length. The double is a normalish negative double, 4 spades, 8+ points.

Is the Miles' flavour of unbalanced diamond where you may have a 7 card ♣ suit as well ;)?

With no anchor suit, you have a serious liability. Ideally, resolution of those types of liabilities by discussed methods is ideal. Obviously, the question would not be posted unless the liability-resolution agreements are not discussed. So, you revert back to impure "logic." IMO, double fits. Sort of a support double.

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

Dbl seems like the only thing we can do.
