Yes, there's a possibility both of them are terrible.

Understanding is not binary (to know zero or 100%); rather, it's a continuum.

Overheard at a coffee shop:
Patron, "I know about quantum mechanics."
Physicist, "Oh. How much do you know about it ?"
Patron, "I saw an episode of Cosmos once."
Physicist, "I see."

anyway, so), yet E16 was also the only local move, then it must mean that 
one intersection below, black lose the capturing race.
seems to lead to a similar outcome. So black can't capture either group. Black must come back to his corner or see it die. So, cutting here doesn't seems like a reasonable choice.
to be a trick play and the hane is the refutation. I guess not thinking about such moves is why I'm bad at this game 
.
, I think black needs to pressure the white right side group. I am considering Q10 or R10, but maybe this is a bit too close to white and should be a bit farther away. Either way, I think white will need to respond locally, and then your corner enclosure will already have an extension in place.
, the game move feels heavy. P8 might be a bit lighter, or you can just take a big point like C6. I think it would be slow for white to try too hard to capture the black stones at this point. 
, while it looks pretty, is also slow and heavy. Black is making a target of his group, while white's strong groups are making easy points.
you may want to take K16 yourself instead. White can play where black did to reduce, but it's not reducing much since white is already strong there.
). Well, to be fair, I did screw up at 
, but he didn't manage to exploit this fully and I did manage to get an okay result. He could at least have chanced the ko 
because white doesn't have the option of invading the corner if black invades.
or even in place of E6, I think white should have made the corner enclosure. Once black has enough territory, he just needs to live in there order to win.
I think the extension just helps black, and white should hane immediately. Extending for 
seems fine also, as black needs to fix shape after. At that point, prior to black's debacle on the right, I don't think white had gained on black at all.
(my group is not so weak), but later on it would have been bigger than capturing/saving one stone.
: I think because of D13, this was not terrible shape. (If D13 hadn't been on the board, there's no way I would have bumped. At least I hope so).
and 
I agree that A was the point for white to play. I just found a play by B there (or at R18 alternatively) to not be so appealing, at least compared to the hane I played.
or 
160 better.
