IBTD. When playing Drury, that's because third-seat openings are 
systemic, not overbids.

Same remark. If your system includes bidding weak suits (which is the 
norm when responding at the 1 level), then bidding such a suit is 
systemic, not a deviation, so the Support double is a way to know which 
type of hand partner has *among those that system made possible*. If you 
don't allow this, you shouldn't allow Stayman, rguing it's a bad idea to 
open 1NT holding a 4-card major, so they aren't allowed to recover.
