7NT XX.

And look at what happens at trick 2.

 

Now, this is from the record of the overall winner of "Survivor - day 3 of 3"

 

The thing is, it seems, every time I check the top-records in one of these tourneys with 1000's of participants (Free Daylong... etc)

I find some crazy example where the robot-brains suddenly just short circuited to contribute to the top-score.

I guess with so many participants, there is always some or a few lucky dudes that will gain considerably from these occasional random results.

 

You really need to look into and fix this.

Otherwise, it's turning into a kind of a lottery, rather than Bridge.

West's Spade discard later not exactly genius either

I know that if we play with robots we are not supposed to moan and also that if human players bid "creatively" that robots cannot work out what we hold but I agree with the Original Poster that the failure to play ♣A is difficult to understand
