Is GIB really supposed to bid 3NT here?

The bid technically complies with the rollover spec, but doesn't really make sense. Why add 2 points for a singleton when making this bid?

Seems like it must bid 2NT - 4♥ 11-12HCP in this case.

It will be investigated.

The bug is that it's counting total points, not HCP. Rules for bidding NT shouldn't use TP, since shortness is not helpful. But we can make the HCP requirement lower if there's a 5-card suit.
