GIB boxes itself into a corner here. It allows a 2H opener at unfavorable with this garbage, but it requires a maximum to bid anything but 3H over the 2NT inquiry.
If I were placed at the table after the 2NT call and had to find a rebid, I would probably bid 3H also. But your point is quite valid.

One of the pinned threads in the GIB forum is "Understand GIB bid explanations".
The first post in that thread includes a link to the relevant document: http://doc.bridgebas...criptions.xhtml
So, "good" (an admittedly vague term I frequently use for shorthand) means having at least A or KJ or QJT.
