I can understand opening 2NT, or 2C and rebidding NT, but downgrading the North hand to 18-19 seems outlandish.

I like the explanation of the 2NT bid. I wish all my partners' partial stops were as good as declarer's partial stop in hearts.
when it does not mention partial stops in the pointed suits, I wonder what one should infer.

Do you suppose it has a treatment for each bid over 1 spade and an algorithm for choosing the smallest lie?

Hearts and clubs are the unbid suits; therefore, bidding NT shows some controls in both of them. It's presumed that North has something to cover the suit he opened, and that South has something to cover the suit that he bid.
