If 4H shows these two suits then I consider it the best option. Why is it exceedingly strange Art?

I find it exceedingly strange for 4♥ to show spades and diamonds and 4NT to show spades and diamonds, especially when 2NT clearly shows spades and diamonds.

As others have mentioned, I don't know why you need so many bids to show the same hand (aside from the fact that the 4NT bid forces us to 5♠ if partner has a preference for spades).

In view of all the confusion surrounding Qbids and no meta-agreements in place I would just overcall 1♠ planning on a ♦ rebid. As a possible meta-agreement I would use after both opponents have called different suits I would use "Michaels not applicable" and Sandwich NT instead of natural.

Han did not say he thinks thats what 4♥ shows, he said IF thats what it shows he would take it, so does everyone, no ?

It is a 3NT bid to show 6-6. If you play 3NT as to play, then you may have a problem to show 6-6, in that case I might just bid 1S. 2NT then raise partner's 3 level bid should show a strong hand with 6-5. Also, I don't really like 4NT here. 4H should show a spade suit and quite serious. Hands like AKQxxxxx AJx xx -
