I think you mean "40-the  minimum point range for my bid". Otherwise Stayman 
can also be used as a range  enquiry against someone who always asks for 
further information. Of course the  explanation will be UI, won't it.

And, as I am being pedantic, I am  surprised someone has not pointed out an 
error in my earlier example that the  passes after 7NT-Double-Redouble were 
wrongly described as bids instead of  calls.
