I believe that at least two people have commented about Moysians taking the tap in the wrong hand. I know that I did

Yep, you're right, but the example I provided does concretely bring home the impact of those references. I thought about the Moysian problem after my first post. But I had other activities scheduled and couldn't immediately return to post about it. I scanned the new posts quickly when I was able to get back and missed the references.

It's also important to point out that though 6 ♥ isn't a good contract even with the controls ala my example hand, 6 ♣ would be icy opposite it. OTOH, if opener's hand were

♠ 42
♥ AJ10x
♦ Jxx
♣ AKxx

either slam is fine opposite that hand. So in bidding slams, it can be very important to distinguish between subtle differences in these hands.
