Luckily, not LTC.

... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Not at the table, hopefully. But they certainly can be used as a guide or source for post mortems or for study of the decision making process.
There are actually folks whose bidding system is designed solely on the LTC principle, but I certainly don't recommend it.
KNR
ODR
LTC
LTT
and others are concepts/tools for judging the value of a hand in battle, not really meant to be styles or system methods in and of themselves.

Didn't you use to play this as a strong two-ish hand?
Hah, yes this was actually some massive knowledge hole that I had that was outted on the forums. I posted once that I thought 4H showed a hand like Phil suggested, and it became apparent that I was wrong, and then I asked my real life friends also and they had the same reaction as phil had to phil in this thread ("Are you retarded jlall?"). Obv I would just jumpshift now with a hand like that. Gwnn if you could find that thread I would be happy

Hmm, difficult question. The people who use these tools usually don't describe themselves as B/I.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Opener (you) seem to be showing a hand with 7 hearts and a KNR of around 19.
5C now, as responder would be fine, and let partner make the next mistake. I don't like the 1S response with L.R. in hearts and everything but spade values, but that wasn't asked.

I was just about to say this --> the 1♠ bid is unnecessary and misleading. I'd make another move but I'm not sure I would go on to slam if I found out we were missing a keycard.
There is a big difference between a good decision and a good result. Let's keep our posts about good decisions rather than "gotcha" results!
