Surfe it does.
And how do you bid over your partner's Multi opening when you have a strong hand so you expect a fair chance for at least game except if partner happens to have 6 hearts (even with as much as 11 HCP). In that case you reckon that there will be only 9 tricks.
then I would have responded 2he. 2nt means we are in game opposite any maximum

In NZ and Australia (BTW the language is pronounced 'Strain' :) )

I thought it was "strine" or perhaps "stryne" but I'm a 'Murrican, so what do I know? ;)

My thought process on the day was that the initial 3H bid showed 6 hearts and lower end of the "weak" scale, whereas the attempted change to 3D was showing 6 spades and the higher end of the "weak" scale. If there had been no UI (the attempted change of bid), I seriously doubt that South would have bid on to 4H as she held only 13 points and I saw it more as giving partner an opportunity to correct her misbid. Apparently North had forgotten their system and was initially transferring to spades with the 3H bid.

Not all 13 points are equal but yes, if pass is a logical alternative then south has to pass
