"Every time when you are in a situation where there are multiple acceptable bids, suit quality should be factor in making your choice. This is just a matter of hand evaluation. I don't see why this shouldn't be so in Precision."

Because not to open 1H in Precision denies the possession of a 5 card H suit, thats why.

Is it really that canonical? I am willing to bet that most people here would NOT open 1♥ with say 5♥s and 7♦s.

Yes, Atul, the original version is that canonical. Just like in Polish Club, not to open a Major is to deny one. That is not to say, that some people change the system in Precision.

Oh wow -- thanks for the insight.
