I'd want better hearts for a direct overcall with only four cards.

1NT.
How can showing a balanced hand with 15-17 and a ♦ stopper be wrong?

Why would 1♥ implying 5 cards (which I don't have), which has a much wider hcp range be better?

I meant it the way you think I think it means.

I was using it in a rather broad, metaphorical sense.

This problem, unlike the AK xxxx Axxxx xx hand, belongs in the B/I forum.

It's an obvious 1N.

I assume that 1N didn't work out, since otherwise why on earth post the hand?

Well, it means "according to Han..." which is a good start of a sentence but rather incomplete to be used in a metaphorical sense.

If not 1NT, which is obvious, I'd rather bid 2♣. Might as well wreak havoc on the opponents also if you are insisting on wreaking havoc on partner.
