Bidding 4D instead of 4H was the alternative Eric, but I suspect my
partner would have expected more, another alternative is bidding
directly 4H, after his 2S! invitation, but that does not give any
clues to my partner on whether I am bidding on general strength
combined with the unknown singleton for a likely game or just
gambling. By asking first and than bidding game my partner knows we
have fitting hands and I am bidding game on the knowledge of him
holding that singleton or void. Besides if he is strong as in the
example you were showing he won't certainly stop in game.
