"De tan poco que/como + indicative" covered twice?

Dear Inma,

What is the reason for having the part "De tanto/tan poco que/como + indicative" instead of "De tanto que/como + indicative" with "De tan poco que/como + indicative" being covered in the previous part "De tan+ adjective/adverb + que/como + indicative"?

Best regards, Janusz

Hola Janusz

It was meant to be part of the main bullet point but highlighting the nuance of using poco as an adverb there. I changed it a bit in the lesson so it shows more clearly. 

Gracias y un saludo cordial
