]Is RR the only Qless person here.
Pretty much. And it was only he who thought Q meant queen, and only he who though Enid was male, although he might not have looked at the bio of North. But, unless he is a good actor, he is not just trying it on, and he thought North had shown the queen of diamonds and, as he had the king and the jack, he concluded that South must have had the ace. More logic than one would expect from RR.
It was not unreasonable of RR to get it wrong. SB did not claim redress until he learnt RR's reasons for not leading a diamond. I expect that I would rule 50% of a diamond lead here, and 50% of a non-diamond lead, but would poll first.
