re:The right to get the correct systemic explanation

During the Swedish summer nationals I encountered an interesting situation in our round of 32 match against Austria.

I was opener and the bidding went 1D-P-1S-D. 1D was 11-15 and a bal hand or an unbalanced with a 4 card M.

As opener I had something like 432-AQxx-K-AJxxx. Without the D 2H by would show all distributions with four spades, 1NT would show 13-15 balanced and 2S would show 43(51/60).
