Particularly with the stones high, this feels worth responding to, as the 3-3 has a big followup if he ignores that too:

Mmm, maybe I was mistaken. Either way, the point of this was to create a threat, and it still seems big, whereas MW's latest move doesn't actually really threaten anything. It's an important point, but I'm not convinced Black did better taking
