A Very Poor GIB Definition

I had this auction today in an ACBL Robot IMP Tournament

 

P 1S 3C 4C (me)

P 4S P

 

Here is the definition of 4S: 5+; 11-21 HCP; 12-22 total points.

 

Honestly, I don't think GIB actually bids in accordance with this definition, and would move toward slam with hands near or at the top of the stated range. I certainly hope that is the case! Obviously this definition is nonsense and should be a high priority for change.

 

It was easier for me since I held 13 HCP and knew partner had no more, even though slam was still possible. I don't think the definition would be any different in GIB formats where "Human Best Hand" is not used, though.
