what is this crying about inverted minors?

after 1♣-1♦-1♠-2♥-2NT responder knows about the 4315 (or 4306 or 4216), he can easilly pinpoint that he just needs 2 aces and any king for 13 tricks.

Inverted minors might get you to the same level of knowledge (I doubt), but they will never be better than natural on this hand.

What am I missing in your 4th-Suit GF auction ?

Why couldn't Opener be 4 2 2 5 ?
And if 1♠ didn't promise longer ♣ in the first place, couldn't s/he be 4 3 2 4 ?

Well presumably this pair is playing Walsh. At least, opener is :)

But yeah, 4225 is certainly possible.

4225 is rebidding 1NT obviously, if 4315 is 4225 definitelly does :)
