Hi all,
Completely agree : 3 ♠ is invitational, showing a good 6-4.
So if I have to hang somebody, I should choose West, because he have to accept the game with a near maximum hand (I imagine 1Nt is 6-10), a support in spades (the 10 !) and good diamonds.
My grand mother, full english spoken, used to say : "bridge veut dire silence" !

Cute! Some bid 3s invite with this hand while I make an advanced cuebid slam try with 3H!.

Guess you misunderstood it. What we meant(at least me) is that 3S is invitational, not that this hand should bid 3S to invite.
