maybe it's the time but I can't see why White's response for Black 1 prevent's Black from cutting (cf. p. 9). I've attached the diagram and my thoughts on White's responses. I am pretty sure I'm missing something obvious, but obviously can't see it . Hence, any hints are appreciated.

I know, sorry, should have stated my question better: the book says that "only White a [W2] is at all tricky, (it invites a mistake in which Black captures two of the White stones but misses the rest)." I can't seem to find a play in which W can sucessfully connect if Black makes a mistakes which would gain him two of the stones. Any hints appreciated
thanks for your extensive replies. But I am especially interested in the mistake which lead Black gain two points but let white connect (see citation in my post above). According to the book this should be possible after W answered with T13 after Black S15. Any hints are really appreciated.
Another possibility might be that I understand the cited passage totally wrong. In this case I'd appreciate another interpretation.
After getting the book out and reading the text, I came up with the same variation Prodigious showed (i.e. S15, T13, R15, T15). Black captures two stones and white connects under.
. Hence, any hints are appreciated.
