Sven, please stop trying to twist things.  The message about the HA 
*relates* to HCS in Hearts.  It is not "other than HCS".

Whether we count the five honour cards or the four "point" cards a 
message relating to possession of one (or more) of those cards, either 
specifically or "2 of 3" or "3 of 5" or whatever is *within* the 
definition of showing HCS.
