GIB's afraid to double 7? matchpoints

At least GIB is consistent about not doubling a grand when holding the trump ace.
Grand in hearts?
Ruined my $1 55% tourney to boot.
But wish I knew, why GIB thought a grand in hearts here would lead to higher MP score than 6NT. I guess some genius will soon explain that a simulation showed that hearts play one trick better. There are times when GIB should not be allowed to do simulations. When you have given a complete and accurate description of your hand, and your partner then places the contract, you are not entitled to an opinion.

Except when you have bid 5NT, then you would really really like GIB to do a simulation and bid 7 if he thinks it is making, rather than woodenly replying with his number of kings.

Of course
I do realize how difficult it is to code "captaincy".
Passing 6H would have been 90%+

Another one where East can't find a double:
and, +700 was not already worth all the matchpoints for EW, because:
As East, I would have bid at my first opportunity, but in another thread it's become clear that I am a serial overbidder...
