On what grounds? What UI does opener have playing dWS?
Partner alerted his 3D just as opener expected.
So where is the UI?
Opener would have one if responder didn't alert 3D -
but this can happen only when you play traditional
school. Playing dWS responder always alerts 3D
even if his 2S was not a relay in his mind.

BTW 7NT was making, not -3. So passing 4H would yield
a poor score.

The point is that even if responder remembers the
system opener, playing dWS, doesn't know it as he
has no UI at all. So he has a pure guess - did
partner remember the system (in which case it is
best to bid 5D) or did forget (in which case it is
best to pass).

Playing traditional school if responder remembers
the system then opener can be 100% sure of that
(from the fact of the alert of 3D).
That's the difference between the two schools.
