You're have reached slam after a 2NT opening too, wouldn't you?  After 2NT-2♦;3♥-3NT, responder is worth 4♣.  After that, opener wouldn't stop short of slam.

Depends, if responder does bid 4♣ then yes, but I wouldn't crime him too much for just bidding 4♥.

Your partner bid keycard when you showed the minimum with 4 trumps, but if you had shown extras with 4 trumps you think he would have signed off? lol?

That was if I'd shown a good 19+ to 22 rather than a bad 23-24.

Im pretty sure everybody is going to agree that the range 19-21 and 22-24 make more sense.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
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."

It does, but it makes even more sense to open balanced 19-counts at the one-level. The way people respond these days, you aren't going to miss any games doing that, and an auction starting 1x-1y-2NT is much more likely to get you to the right contract than one starting with 2NT.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
