If the Mayans could predict the end of the world, why did they not see the conquistadors coming?

In the 2nd variation, white r9 will often be better than s8 as it also connects but stops black playing r9 himself to build some outside influence.

R9 instead of S8 is a outdated Japanese joseki, which is now considered inferior, from modern research.
