One thing upsets me : imagine for one moment that a player has overheard 
that 7S was cold and decided to use this information. Would one bid 7S 
directly over 1H, thereby provoking all sorts of suspicions, as we see ? 
I don't favor this explanation and would like to find some other, 
perhaps something like the Rabbit's punitive 4C bid : "how else would 
partner let me play in my 8-card suit ?"
