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.
