Hi!

Trying to review #9457, I found the following:
  sage: R.<T> = QQ.completion(5,5)[[]]
  sage: R
  Power Series Ring in T over 5-adic Field with capped relative precision 5
  sage: O(T^2) == 0 
  False

Shouldn't the answer be True, because O(T^2) is indistinguishable from zero? At 
#9457, niles provides a patch that fixes it. Unfortunately, 
sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.sha_tate.Sha.an_padic relies on the wrong answer.

More precisely,
  sage: EllipticCurve('53a1').sha().an_padic(5)
results in an error if O(T^2)==0 returns True.

Could please someone competent in elliptic curves explain how this can be fixed?

Cheers,
Simon
