I really don't know what this hand proves, because pass nets +200 while after the double responder had the world's most obvious 2C bid which somehow she forgot to make*, which was going to be only 1 off and you probably weren't going to double it. So double reduced your points expectation, except that we gained 7 imps on the board.

In fact, isn't this the single most likely outcome of the double? When RHO and I have 10 spades and partner couldn't make a takeout double, LHO probably has spade shortness and a hand where he would have liked to bid a non-forcing 2/1.
