This reminds me of my favorite story.

♠Qxxx ♥xx ♦Jxxxxxx♣---

Partner opens 2♣, opponents pass throughout. You bid 2♦, waiting. Partner bids 3♣. Your call?

The person holding this hand actually elected 3NT!!!

Opener then leapt to 6♣, as the "practical bid," with the following hand:

♠AK ♥Axx ♦AK ♣AKJ982

To make the story complete, Opener's RHO held the following hand:

♠Jxxxxx ♥Q ♦Qx ♣Q1073

Opener's LHO elects a trump lead...
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

Why didn't partner rebid 2NT?
Anyway, this hand is a good one for paradox responses.

PD should rebid this balanced hand 2NT or 3NT depending upon range and how strong he valeus his hand. Either way you end up in 4♠

Maybe, but the forum is not.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.
