This hand shows that Gib don't know how to deal with worthless doubleton after superaccept.
It neither promise any control in it,nor deny it.

Although OP's point is valid that North proceeded without the needed information, the bids and descriptions of South got weird.
  • Unless South has two doubletons (or a singleton or void, which he can't have for his NT opening), the only way for him to have 21 HCP and 22+ total points is for his spade holding to be either Ax or xx. The actual hand has only 21 total points.
  • Why does South not cuebid his A over 4?
  • Why does 4 not deny the A. (Likely related to the previous answer.)
  • Why does the 4 description allow for the possibility of 25 total points? Does this help provoke North into bidding too much?

Hearts hadn't been bid yet at that point, so I guess just to rightside the contract.
