My main confusion happened after reading this sentence:

  We talk about a node being “smaller” or “larger”, and “lower” or
“higher”.

That made me think there are two different dimensions we classify nodes:
"Size", that is, if the node is small or large, and "height", that is,
if it is low or high.  I was hoping to learn the differences between
"size" and "height" in the rest of the text, but the text didn't make it
clear to me because it only talks about "smaller and lower" and "larger
and higher".  What about "smaller and higher", or "larger and lower"?
Are they possible at all?  After reading everything, I got the idea that
the terms may actually be synonyms, but I was not 100% sure.  I feel we
could make this more clear from the start.

All of this is my perspective as a non-native English speaker.  Hope
this helps.

Thanks.
