Scoring: IMP
spades broke 4-0 so 5S is down 1 could be down 2 on the AH lead and H ruff.
I think bidding 4C is ok but making 2 slam try is a big mistake.
hmm, this hand would sign off in 4♠ over 4♥ IMO.
looking for slam ? over a 2H preempt

my on the fly partner bid 4Nt directly and i told him that even 4H is an overbid.

I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

Your two statements are not related.
No competent partner would dream of bidding beyond game with advancer's hand... put it another way... give advancer's hand to a competent panel; give them the auction in which overcaller bids 4♥ and ask what the right call is now, and in an expert panel, I'd expect 95% or more to say, effectively: 4♠, wtp?

not sure i understand your point. Over 4H i would have signoff at 4S but it doesnt mean that 4H is a good bid. Both hand are worth only 1 slam try.
Over my 4D (obvious bid imo).
4S = best bid
4H = overbid (maybe not big mistake but surely a mistake)
4Nt = gross overbid.
that is what i meant.
