If he ataris at :w1: above, I can get the hane at :b6: in sente, Later, if he gets a move around 'a', :b6: lets me play 'b' to connect.

Whereas if he connects with :w1:, then :b2: has more force behind it. I may not play :b2: right away, but when I do, if he responds elsewhere, I can take over the corner. And if he responds locally, it either makes :b2: sente or gives my group even better shape. (There's also the bad aji of me playing :b2: at :b4:.)

In the middle, his last move has left me a couple of good forcing moves against his middle group to make a couple of my groups stronger:

On the plus side of this sequence, I get the useful :b3: and :b5: stones. However, I lose a useful liberty on my :bc: stones, so it's not a sequence I want to play automatically without first considering the benefits and drawbacks carefully. That's one of the reasons I'm playing this probe on the right first - to see how he responds before I decide whether I should play the forcing sequence above now or not, and what I should do afterward.
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

He might as well, given that it's not his move.
Ontological imperative holds that my losses occurred only in imagination.
