Hardly. I can think of many hands, maybe even MOST hands, where I'd open a 5 card major before a 6 card minor. Standard North American systems aren't designed to back into a 5-3 fit in the majors.

So have we all (Well, a lot of us); but perhaps 5M6m would be a bit differently viewed than 4-7. In any case it all goes back to not really caring what we call it ---psyche or not---unless something else happens in the auction to reveal a CPU or a fielding of some kind.
