Am I missing something ? on a spade lead don't you still need quite a lot to make 5 (diamond finesse, hearts 4-3), and I'd consider this even with the stiff K to be worth its 16 points and too good for this sequence.

Despite the fact that I supported the pass of 3 ♦: A spade lead is possible, but the unbid suit or maybe a trump surely the usual choice...

They won't always lead a spade. A club is about as likely, and they may lead a trump too.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
