I suspect that the concept that 'Truly Tiny' was super-dwarf Brazilian type was just wrong from the start, and it's always just been another random dwarf Cavendish mutant, of which there are many.

The possibility that someone didn't know what they were looking at and misclassified the plant and it entered the nursery trade with bad information attached is entirely unremarkable, it happens all the time.

That being said, I would be happy to be proven wrong, however, I've yet to see any photos of a "super dwarf Brazilian", so without evidence there isn't much to go on except the plants being sold, which are all Cavendish.
