What on earth does playing 1NT with 5 card Ms have to do with bidding stayman on this hand?

Because I definitely want to be in 4♥ via Stayman if there's any danger partner has 5 of them, 3N can be a monumentally stupid place to play, xxx, AKQxx, Ax, Kxx for example, going off in 3N when I can make 6♥.

Regardless of how many cards in a major 1 NT contains, i would use stayman and i would be in 4♥ with the given methods.
But i play 3♦ 3♥ 3♠ bids splinter, so that is what i would bid in my prefered system. I am not sure if this would help pd to bid 3 NT and ignore our 4-4 ♥ fit since i don't know the other hand.

He did not say only KQxx ♠ but also 4 lousy hearts.
FYI when they did not bid it, xxxx vs x or xxx vs xx is good enough to play 3 NT if you have to,
It maybe 4-4, or it maybe 5-3 and the guy with 3 card maybe on lead, or they may block it, or we may go down in 3 NT. People go down sometimes in their game contracts
Anyway, pd seems to have much better than xxxx.
