Sorry, I didn't mean to say every strong 2 could be translated into a strong 2C, but rather most people don't seem to feel the lack of an intermediate level between "ok to open at the one level" and "open as 2C" if they're playing weak 2s.

Reminding myself from google, it looks your system is very much based on standard acol, even when it wasn't what I expected (I was nominally taught ACOL for a little, but now I'm much more familiar with the specifics of what SGO and UBC people play, and no longer really remember any of the details), so anything I don't understand I shouldn't attribute to you :)
