Do delayed transfers playing puppet stayman make sense?

I thought they were standard, but I'm not sure. example:

2N - 3
3 - 3

now Opener decides he really likes hearts and cues 4...

4...

does it make sense to now play 4 here as a transfer back to 4?

If so, should 4 be forcing? Or is that just too much memory load?

Thanks.

Yes, play 4D transfer to 4H. Bidding 4H is just a non forcing slam try (the same as last train).

100% agreement.
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."
