How many extras were you expecting after north bid 2♠?
Opposite a hand that still has room for a game try and might yet have a 10 loser 6 count, personally I would not bid more than 2S with say

but maybe I should. Being brought up on the weak 1N opener I am used to making lighter game tries after a simple raise.
If your argument is that I should not countenance the possibility of a grand after 2S raise, then maybe you are right. On that example hand I still require two 3-2 breaks. That still does not make the 6D bid right (as from his point of view I MIGHT have been stronger).
