By the way this is very much like a hand that S. J. Simon has in Why You Lose At Bridge he regards 7H as correct if you trust your partner.

Not at all. The auction in why you lose at bridge was not a pressure auction, and partner cuebid 3 times before bidding 6D.

Anyways... I agree with 6H wholeheartedly. Pard is under pressure, lets not hang him for making a good choice. What we are telling him if we bid 7 is that he can play 5 or 7 but not 6 (surely we wouldnt raise if he had bid 5H). Also don't agree our "double fit" is a good thing. If his spades are solid they are solid, but if not a doubleton would be better.

A little more for thought.
It seems likely partner has a 2-suited major takeout for his 4D bid.

So why didn't he follow that with:

A) 5N pick a slam or
;) 6H

Don't forget C,D and E

C) Bid 3♠ then 5♥
D) Bid 3♠ then 6♥
E) Bid 6♦ first round
