Heh. Thanks, we'll try to clarify that page.
We used to call these "minimal examples", which has a precise
meaning and is very well-understood -- but only by English
speakers trained in mathematics, computer science, or maybe a few
other areas. I renamed them to "Tiny examples" to try to get
broader understanding (particularly amongst ESL people), but I
clearly lost too much in the "translation".
