An overcall on a 4 card major with sort of hand (heart vales and good in a 4-3) are advocated in Lawrence's complete overcall. other do to.
Bunch of unlucky things. Your club shortage opposite partners length and Gib raising on nothing.

GIBBO does this often. At 2 level if in pass out position will balance with virtually anything.
If at MoneyBridge BBO had to refund for abject stupidity, this would stop very quickly.

You can find very authoratitive proofs, not only that

4=5,

but also that

3=4
2=3
1=2
0=1,

on YouTube. So, by transitivity of =, it would also be correct to overcall 1♠ with

Double partscore swings hurt at teams too. Those 5-6 imps add up. Money bridge I don't know about but I assume making partscores makes you money.

any plus is good especially when GIBBO is sitting opposite.
and yes, partscores add up. A lot.
