(1♦) - P - (P) - Dbl
(3♦) - 3♠ - (P) - 4♠
(P) - 4NT??

3♠ was explained as 6-16 total points... seems a bit wide :)

For what matters, GIB's hand was:

5♠, down one.
Partner, I don't play tempo signals...

it took your 4S as 19+ because of the wide range of 3S. So 4NT is automatic for gib. Of course the wide range of 3S is ridiculous, but it's actually everywhere in the system IMO. A more reasonable range for 3S shouldn't be based on points I think. It should be based on the length of spades and the playing strength and also the defense potential. Still, it might not be easy to program.
