Yes, 71% of the time this position has occurred in the professional games included in SmartGo Kifu the professional Black has chosen to enclose the bottom right rather than approach the bottom left.

The interesting part of the OP was that in the face of clear evidence to the contrary (= actual choices made by hundreds of professional Go players) we persist in describing the world, err... Go board in this case, using verbal heuristics that do not fit the facts that we know. The first time I read it I was nodding my head along with A until I suddenly had one of those "Hmmm..." moments.

Although the original post on Nirensei vs Nirensei was interesting, so is this alternative fuseki pattern. It is relatively rare in pro Go. It is also a symmetrical one where there is a clear preference for enclosing next. There are many alternatives with an equally clear preference for approaching next. To me that shows there are no "givens" regarding enclosures versus approaches. Those terms are too general to be fruitfully applied to real fuseki choices. It is our desire to make sense of our complex world (d@mn! ...game, I meant game, as in, "Go is only a...") that leads us to such oversimplifications.
