1C-(1NT)-2NT alertable? Standard meaning?

Partner obviously had a brain cramp. If you think you can make 8 tricks in NT, why wouldn't you want to defend against 1NT? The one thing 2NT isn't is natural.

 

Talking about brain cramps, I once had this auction

Opponents asked partner what 1NT meant and he answered "natural, maximum passed hand". Yikes :o

It occurs to me that it is possible to respond accurately** as to what a calls means even when there is no agreement/system as to a call. Hence, the formulation of a question takes on the destructive powers of a weapon.

 

**the same can be said about inaccurately
