Hi Dieter, I am happy that you are editing again. I wonder however why it is my signed question that gets removed, while the older contributions of Charles (you removed signatures once) remain as authoritative content. I find the 3rd diagram in the intermediate hane discussion hard to stomach and almost surely displaying a mistake. Creating a cutting point in gote, is not going to be efficient (Black can answer with a bigger move on the outside if the cutting point has any meaning at all), i believe it is fairly easy to show this by tewari.

From Fujisawa Hideyuki's Tesuji Dictionary (vol. I, p.63) - add to achieve 3rd diagram-esque position  

I have also doubts that in the second diagram of the intermediate hane discussion is really the main move to consider, peacefully drawing back (like in the dictionary example) at least deserves attention as well. And while White lost something, it also gained a potential cut. I found the whole discussion really lacking. I still think the same, but are less timid in expressing this thought now then when I found it first two years ago. (I got a little stronger too.)

Best, Tapir
