Maybe erratic is a better description that wide ranging for the played in question.

4♠ should have play. 6♠ should not. Seems like an easy 4♠ bid.

I want my opponents to leave my table with a smile on their face and without matchpoints on their score card - in that order.

all kinds of permutations do. But bidding anything other than 4S is absurd

The more wide ranging (erratic) a bid is the less likely p will ever know what to do. This hand is a
perfect example where anything you decide to do is a complete guess and any further competitive
bidding that occurs will leave you with a complete guess.
MP 4S who knows what will happen but the opps will be guessing as much as you are and there
is little sense in assuring your side a poor result.
IMPS 5S opps can make anywhere btn 3 and 7 and i have not a clue where. It seems that
taking out some insurance with a further blocking bid is best overall. 4S is possilee but we will
be opening a can of worms if the opps compete further possibly making it easier for them to
bid slam.

But guys! Partner could have two outside aces! It's not anything you can simply ignore!

This is more like a story tale than really a problem, don't expect any of us will find AKQJ support for partner's 3 level preempt anytime soon. Partner had ♥AK♣A

I think your alternative description is more accurate than the original "wide ranging".

If partner holds those cards then 4♠ is still the best contract. With this partner I expect you will lose a diamond and a trump.
