Oh. Sorry.
@ Magicwand:
Ko is in general a poorly understood aspect of the game. You cannot just say that even strong amateur players understand it. Robert is a very careful and methodical researcher. So it is possible to criticize him for straining at gnats. IMO, such criticism is misguided. A lot of progress is made step by step. Knowledge is built brick by brick.
