(Out of interest, this was my initial sequence (sort-of menacing white white 'a'). On one hand, I can appreciate this way of playing is vulgar, but I also still can't see that this is obviously bad: The reason I dropped it is that it feels like black is straining too hard, rather than it being wrong. If someone can clearly correct my confusion concerning this (just hiddenly), I'd be much obliged.
Edit:
Right, I eventually sort of got there myself; white has a more clearly defined thick shape, and it doesn't introduce any aji that wasn't already there, really. Diagrams later maybe.
, I
seems to have been a mistake. What can ya do. I think I can abandon it and treat N3 and O4 as some kind of miai.
