I think you are giving West too much credit. Against intermediates, this redouble usually means something along the lines of "Hey, I have that suit too! How dare you double us in our fit." Just because this is the Expert forum does not mean that the opponents ATB were.
Our turn to bid again 3

It worked though. Perhaps West knew his customers.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

3♠X-4 = 800 seems OK. No redouble this time 
Few have methods sophisticated enough to reach the grand or even small slam; nor would all relish the (single-dummy) prospect.
