Perhaps partner bidding 4nt or 4S with 1=2=5=5 hands is putting too many eggs in one basket over 3S? As usual on these forum hands perhaps p has the true bidding problem not us.
They pre-empted in my suit Do you bid 4H?

Couple quick comments:
First:
I've seen the expression "don't preempt over a preempt" a couple times.
As I learned things, this expression is definitional and describes the meaning over a jump shift over the opponent's preemptive openings. For example:
The auction (2♥) - 3♠ shows a strong hand with Spades.
In this case we're debating the virtues of a simple overcall.
Admitted, this hand doesn't have many HCP, however, it has great shape and a lot of playing strength.

I think it talks mainly about bidding 2♥-2♠ with KQJxxx-xx-xxx-xx or 3♣-3♥ with xxx-AKxxxxx-x-Qxx wich is a big mistake.
