Suggest reverting the last change to cogent CGT sentence.

Just seen this after I had reverted the change. I also added the observation that tinies and minies are sente to avoid a repeat of this confusion.

I just spotted this discussion, which let me know that my change (from before I registered) had been reverted. Here is the key point:

Minies are only sentes for _one_ player. For the other player, they are _reverse_ sentes.

Consider the 2-part endgame where one part is a tiny and the other part is a star. Black to move playing the tiny loses, and black to move playing the star wins. Accordingly, even when the only infinitesimals around are as the page describes, it's not necessarily the case that minies and tinies should be played first.

For that reason, I will revert the revert if there is no reply within one week.

Bill: The original page had the error, saying that minies and tinies should be played first. Since the page uses those terms, best not to switch to regular go terms. However, it is not a question of either/or. I have edited accordingly. :)
