I bid 5♣ cause the 4♥ bid would show 8+ 8421 in H.....
if I dont have control in ♥ and I dont have control in ♠, but I do have 14-18 points, and GIB holds AQJ♥ and A♦ - how bad can my clubs be?
What does GIB lack to go to 6?

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Would 3♠ (instead of 2♠) have been a splinter? Is North not strong enough for that?

2♠ and 3♠ mean the same thing. Looks like to keep it simple, the author of the rule didn't distinguish between jumps and non-jumps; it just says cue on the 2 or 3 level, so it handles both (1♠) 2♣ (P) 2♠ and (1♠) 2♣ (2♠) 3♠ with the same rule.

It's not doing any simulations over the 5♣ bid, but I'm not sure why, because the book bid doesn't disable simulations. I'll check on this.

However, I can think of hands for South that don't make 6♣. Wasted values in spades, 2+ small hearts (so no ruffing finesse possible, and normal finesse probably losing), ♦Jx(x) or worse, on a diamond lead. You'll lose a trick in both red suits.
