What am I supposed to think?

If the description of 2♠ is accurate, why did North pass over 1♥?

PS: I wouldn't bid 2♦ with a suit that was only "biddable".

You didn't give North's hand, but it's almost certain North has a doubleton or less in diamonds. Running from partner's suit takes precedence over any other description, even it means bidding a 3 card suit at times.

This is one of those descriptions that is inaccurate by definition, since N would have made a negative double or bid the suit on the first round with that holding.

 

I need some sort of catch phrase or code word which means "the descriptions are full of contradictions and impossibilities, there needs to be a major project to sift through them and improve them". I am getting tired of having to type it out over and over.

2♠ is a puzzling bidding,after opp's 1♥,north keep silent,after pd'2♦,north suddently bid 2♠,difficult to understand its illogical bidding.

[Bbradley62]

So, maybe North intended to show control of spades, looking for 3N, but got the explanation wrong? Dunno.
