I think Han was suggesting that if North had a bit less, i.e. was less interested in slam, he would be happy to simply play in 4H, which rates to be an excellent scoring contract.

the auction is hugely informative and even if p is minimum for their 4d bid
the worst case scenario for making 6 will probably be a 33 heart break. Why you
ask????
p failure to bid 3s tells wonders. A 3s bid would show spades stopped and club
worries about 3n since we normally HATE the minors (If we were to bid 3n and
p bid 4d it would mean the 3s bid was a cue bid). If p had clubs stopped and
not spades they could have bid 3c vs 2s. Since P failed to bid 3s they dont
have stops in either club or spades (if they are making a minimum slam try)
and that means 100% of their hcp should be located in the red suits.
we can count 11 tricks on top and need only the heart j in p hand or 33 heart
break (or p has 5 hearts in which case 7n is probably right).
Once p bids 4d we should bid 4s and after 5d we should bid 6c letting p know
7 might be in the cards if they have extra heart length. P should settle for 6d
and we should bid 6n.
