A precise definition of contractible Banach algebras.

I am sorry if this question is elementary:

What is a precise definition of a contractible Banach algebra?

What is my mistake to think that there is a possible (conflict) contradictory situation in the following paper and "Wolfram" Note?:

1)Corollary 4.9 page 368 of the following paper:

2)Finite dimensionality of contractible $C^*$ algebras as described here:
