Why Doesn't Robot Lead from Top of Nothing?

Hello! Just curious. It seems that robots do not lead from top of nothing on defense.

 

I've had a number of hands where defending robots lead from bottom of a tripleton (or doubleton). Recently, for example, the robot led 3 spot from 8,5,3. This does not seem standard, especially when there is not other bidding information upon which to decide to lead the high card or low card.

 

Is this a common lead for robots? Best regards.

What's standard or not really depends on where you're from and what source you're using; this site for example says low *is* standard, and plenty of others say other things.

 

Personally I would lead low from three small against a suit and high against no trumps, but GIB has simply been programmed to lead low in both cases.

 

It leads high from a doubleton 97% of the time.
