"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Book bid is 5, but Double comes after simulation.

It will be investigated, although not very clear situation with 6th minor and almost balanced hand. Partner could expect with Axx/Kxx and get 800 where 5 to be passed out for 600 or luckily 620 with void diamond leader.

Anyway it be addressed for more closer hand to expectation of double.

So GIB plays a penalty double here. I think it's much more common to play negative double here, otherwise hard to get to major suit games.

Also, I think its expectations of 800 with partner having Axx/kxx is maybe inflated beyond reality, I think suit quality requirements of 4d should be increased (expect 8+ diamond rather than 7+ which make big diff, & better suit), which would make 800 less likely and favor bidding on.
