I don't think this one is optimistic. We can lead on heart ruffing : if 3-3 are home otherwise become dummy reversal (with another heart to ruff). En passant :i don't like 1NT with 6(!) hearts, instead 1♥-1♠, 3♠-4NT, ..
The analysis is flawed and the conclusions therefore suspect.
Hearts are indeed 3-3 and yet we are not "home" unless we get a heart lead away from the King.
The en passant comment is entirely predictable. If criticising the 6th Heart it behoves you I think to do so when its presence does not actually improve the prospects of a poor grand.
