I randomly reread an article on Senseis and found the source of the quote I gave.
From Benjamin Teubner's
guide to become strong:
Benjamin Teubner wrote:
Just recently Saijo Masataka 8p visited Hamburg, and while commenting on a game, he said: "In Fuseki and Middle Game, territory is not important, but strength and weakness of groups".
Two things:
1.
"Potential" is not only potential territory. It is also potential to attack, potential to defend, and other kinds of potential. Which nicely ties up with the definition you provided now, in the sense that strength gives you potential to attack, for example.
2.
From your initial definition - "safety" is only a small subset of "strength and weakness" from the definition you quoted now, often not even a part of it. As I said above - "strength and weakness" have a *lot* to do with "potential". More than with "safety", I'd say.
So, I think that both the OP and Saijo Masataka are pretty close and on the mark, while you misunderstand both statements.
