hdf: one could reason it with "limiting w"
royu [4d\]: he can maybe force w to play a slow gote move like t10 but the outside forcing moves have no value anyways
Jacaranda [2d\]: means that this w group is never killable
battlepony [1k?\]: according to Rin Kaiho if you are behind you have to choices: you either complicate the game or you play as correct as possible
