That would obviously be because he thinks that 2Cx may be the best
spot, and not a `risk' as you call it. I agree that double-tolerance,
no heart-tolerance, and a spade suit which can play 2S opposite
completely mis-fitting rubbish is a rare scenario, so it makes
sense to assume heart fit.
I would not trust my partner to make the same interpretation as I though,
regardless of which interpretation I come up with at the table :-)
Seriously, what (IYO) should responder have to advance over 2S (-(p))?
