and it caused some small though not trivial amount of blinds to be lost.

What is your definition of trivial? Because losing 30 chips in the 10/20 level of a Stars S&G is pretty trivial.

30 chips = 2% of a total starting stack. I don't consider that trivial at all. You apparently do. I suppose we could propose the hypothetical HU match, assuming equally skilled opponents, and figure out how much of a chip disadvantage you would be willing to accept without taking odds. So if you are willing to play the rest of your SNGs spotting your opponent a 1530:1470 lead every single time, then I guess it really is trivial to you. It is not trivial to me. Small, yes. Trivial, no.
