My point is that I very much doubt that there is a ‘right’ answer to the question: what does the double mean? Well, more accurately, the ‘right’ answer is, as is so often the case, ‘what is our agreement?’

Absent a specific agreement, do we have, with this partner, the level of agreement that says, on the one hand, low level doubles are takeout or, on the other, when neither side has announced a fit and a penalty double could easily be held, it’s penalty.

So to those seeking a clear answer, I’ll be the Grinch. It’s whatever you have agreed or, failing that, whatever you guess.

I should have phrased my question better. What is your agreement of the double here?
I'd expect for most, it's a guess.
