If you're going to use this logic, then the question is not "what do
many play", but "what does *this* pair play" a double to mean. If
everybody and his brother plays it to demand a spade lead, but this
pair do not, then the conclusion that the hesitation suggests leading
spades is wrong.
 
AG : not necessarily. It might well be the case that the player knew most
played "double = spades", and took some time to decide whether partner would
understand it as such. In that case, the suggestion is indeed there,
notwithstanding the absence of any agreement.
