I don't quite see why this isn't a 1♠ response.

I think it plays that 1S followed by 3H shows 5S3H.

Why is the explanation of North's 3♥ bid different after South's 2♣ rebid than it is after South's 2♦ rebid?

Please don't let the answer be "because one North is a passed hand and the other isn't".

Then what was this North thinking when he bid 1N?

Wow, Bradley, you're really good at finding these examples.

Robots don't have the ability to "think", so it wasn't thinking anything :). I'm really not sure why anyway. I guess it simulated that hearts would always play better.

Could 1♠ followed by 3♥ be a game force? So the only way to show a 3-card invitational hand is to go through forcing NT.

In my example, GIB had passed, so GF would be out of the question.

I was trying to rationalize the hand Bradley found, where GIB wasn't a passed hand and bypassed its 5-card spade suit.

sorry but I was about to say just that. As a passed hand it can't respond 1♠ with heart support as it could be left in 1♠. But 1NT is forcing. Weird system, but it seems like GIB's decision are reasonable in light of the system.
