By a passed hand?
I have no idea what this means; I have never seen it and probably never will unless playing with a drunk.

exposing psychs made by a 4th hand opener is extremelly useful tool, otherwise you get fooled too often.

Yeah.

Or maybe an 8-card minor that couldn't preempt due to some flaw and is still looking for 3NT. But that would be silly. I go for the 6-6.

Partner found an ace, suddenly has an opening hand, and asks for a stopper.

Some people pass hugely distributional hands like AQJxxxxxxx, -, -, xxx (one I actually held) to try to get more info about partner's hand than they can get on their own if they open high. I suspect something like this is going on.
