Summary: Tutorial (5.6) "Smaller" means "lesser"

Initial Comment:
I would propose an addition to section 5.6 of the 
tutorial, to clarify that "smaller" in comparisons 
means "lesser".  To do so, I might recommend 
adding "(lesser)" after the precise and mathematically 
correct adjective "smaller", as in:

"If one sequence is an initial sub-sequence of the 
other, the shorter sequence is the smaller (lesser) 
one."
