Beginners lesson 3A Slide 16
Partner opens 1H.
You have:
S Q53 H K86 D A632 C K87
The slide says "No fit in hearts ... with 10-12 points …. MUST bid 2NT"
OK, we haven't covered new suit bids yet. But surely by bidding 2NT we are giving away our oppoertunity of finding a 5-3 heart fit? So the better bid is 2D? Am I missing something here?

Yep, this is a poor example. The hearts should be Kx doubleton, with another club.
But there's really no reason to ever bid 1H - 2NT without opps intervention.

I cross out the NT responses other than 1NT as the bid of last resort. There is always a 2 level bid to show 10+ points.
