Richard Hills quibbles:
Alain instead should have said "game is unlikely". If North's shape is
4=3=2=4, and North also holds both the ace and king of clubs, then 3NT is
cold.
David Burn remarks that "unlikely" is too mild a term for describing the
probability that North has overcalled 2D on a doubleton.
