The issue is that the GCC has two definitions of strong (at least).
One specifically says that conventions are allowed after "strong (at least 15HCP) ..." openings. Another says that 2♣ or 2♦ can be used for "a strong hand". When it states a HCP range, you follow that; when it states a style, then you argue what that style is.
I do so love the GCC.

Yeah. The official ACBL position on "strong" artificial 2m is that '"strong" means whatever the player making the bid thinks it means'. Or so I was told (by Rick Beye, iirc).
