After 3♠, of course, I would make a responsive double, whatever pd rebid 4♥ or 4♦, I will correct it to 5♣ to show my decent single suit with forcing to game strength.

I don't think this is true. LHO has (presumably) a five-card spade suit, so (depending on style) might have strained to open. P has (presumably) a three-card spade suit, which isn't a 3-level double if he doesn't have >min opening values. If we give opener more of P's presumed spades, P needs slightly fewer values to have acted as he did, but so does opener. So I expect P to be something in the range of 2.5-3 points stronger than LHO on average.

Who made a three-level double here? Are you misreading the auction?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I don't have hand records, but it was something like (apologies if spots change):



They somehow failed to take their 3 top tricks so I ended up with an average board for going -1.
