No tricks outside diamonds? you have three honours in the side suits, which may help partner- as it is the case here. Partner holds Atx and KTxx in the majors, your jacks raise the trick expectations a lot.
Partner counts on diamond tricks? For how many tricks would you count QJxx? -or the actual holding Jxxxx? About 1 trick or two?

If you actually bother to read what I wrote, you will see that I said no controls outside of diamonds, not no tricks. But again, building an evaluation on tricks alone is incredibly unstable. This is why systems like LTC were created - to acknowledge the power of tricks, but to also accentuate that with how many losers you have also. In my preferred evaluation, I would consider both HCP and potential cover cards for partner's losers - here, both point to a limit raise.
