speculative invasion

Flower: Why would a speculative invasion be seen as trick play? To elaborate, if the definition on this page is correct then speculative invasion lacks the two typical traits of trick play:

  • The obvious answer is incorrect: The obvious answer of reinforcing your territory is likely correct. (ignoring invasions tends to be real bad in my (tiny) experience :) In case of a trick play we would assume that it would be disastrous to make the correct reinforcement move.
  • Recognizing a trick play and answering with the correct moves typically yields a significant negative effect for the one who initiated the trick play. With a speculative invasion there is little to loose but much to gain. (as not-invading will commonly yield the same results as a failed invasion.)

For these reasons I think that speculative invasion has no place on this page, (I am aware that it is considered a bad habit though, but I feel that the resentment towards it might cause people to consider it a trick play even though it is not when using objective logic)

hamete

Flower: Another thing, Hamete is referred in this article as 'opening trap'. Should it not be 'joseki trap'? (and here is no note that hamete could refer to trick play in general) Has the ambiguity about hamete as high level (not classified 'standard') variation of joseki resolved then?
