Yes, GIB makes very conservative limit raises and you should only reject if you have absolute rubbish.
This a partially due to the constructive single raises in the 2/1 system, which pushes the lower bound for a limit raise up a bit higher than it would be in old-fashioned SA and Acol.
It is partially due to the DD analysis which is a bit more pessimistic than real play, where you can bid a game on a combined flat 24-count, hoping that the defenders will give away a trick on the opening lead.
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket
