Despite the double, it may be far from certain from North's perspective that the Club honours are lying so favourably. If West has a Club honour then he cannot profitably attack clubs so as to put North to a guess. Thus, from North's perspective, leaving West on lead with the Heart Q has some attractions.
Then, having pitched a club from table, coming down to KJ doubleton, I think that it played the Clubs correctly. If both AQ are offside (unlikely, I know) then nothing works and it doesn't matter whether playing K or J. Likewise, if both AQ are onside, playing the J does not gain anything over playing the K. Either way you have one and only one Club loser, and one and only one Club winner. So the decision is down to which is superior line when the Club honours are divided. In that case, the double in the auction arguably places East with more likely having the Ace than the Queen, which argues for rising with the King.
So, I think that GIB played quite reasonably on this hand. May not be optimal but not really bad at all.

Yes, but when he led a club to the king, east rose with the ace and the king was played under the ace.

Pitching on the second round of hearts and ruffing on the third round is pretty bizzarre, too.
The easiest way to count losers is to line up the people who talk about loser count, and count them. -Kieran Dyke
