I think you're on the wrong track here.  The question isn't what the
3C bid demonstrably suggested; the question is what the UI
demonstrably suggested, and the UI is the mistaken explanation of the
2NT bid.  And given that East knows that 3C should be some sort of
game try in hearts, but the UI (the mistaken explanation) suggests
that 3C isn't a game try at all, the UI demonstrably suggests that
West has less than East would otherwise think, and thus the UI
demonstrably suggests that East should bid less.

I think this part is clear.  What's not clear is whether 4H by East is
a logical alternative.  (John doesn't even think 2NT was a logical
alternative.)
