Someone told you the AC does not remand and vacate decisions?

It is very, very common and the decision is called "de novo".

Or, was the surprise that the decision happened so quickly? Cases from that ALJ might go to the "top of the pile" perhaps?

I've had two remands from appeals council

I have to admit, that was a quick turnaround.

This back and forth between the appeals council and ALJ reminds me of a favorite expression by someone called DP on a Russian forum, "send in the clowns"

The surprise was that it was remanded in 11 days. I'm being told that is unheard of

It's best not to get hung up on details like this that you have no control over.

The remand means that the AC believes the ALJ made a legal error. Now, you'll have another shot before a new ALJ, and you can even get new documentation if needed before then. If you meet the requirements for a Listed Impairment, there is a chance you might even be approved via an OTR decision before being scheduled for a hearing.
