And you are assuming we have all 4 aces when pard bids 5N?
Have you actually played rubber bridge?

I think that bidding 6C with four kings is an insult to partner. Yes, partner should be always able to know the difference between four aces and none, but I can imagine situations where no kings or all four might be in doubt! Even if your strong partner might not have all the aces, his reason for asking must be that he intended to play 6NT opposite all the kings, perhaps for safety reasons, like to avoid losing an ace and a trump on a really foul trump split - or to avoid going down to ace and a ruff. So, it seems clear to me to bid 6NT.
If anyone can shoot a hole in the above argument, I would look forward to hearing from them.

No. And it seems I rather shouldn't (or be prepared to lose lots of money due to bidding misunderstandings)

I think if you arent sure and im not even sure with some of my regular partners, just bid 7 of your suit.
