5♥ is a hand that controls hearts and tries for slam, sounds like the hand that needs good trumps.

this is the easiest 5♠ ever, what am I missing?

a clear meta-agreement that 5♠ in this type of auction is about ♥ control and not about ♠ control. Likewise I think the meta-agreement on 5♥ is equally or more muddy.

As an aside I have never seen a book just on meta-agreements.
