The section on proverbs is missing the point, despite overthinking it.

You're not meant to take a proverb and apply it literally in all cases. It's a piece of wisdom you pull out when you deem it appropriate. The analysis and individual judgement of the human being is implied.

If you included more it wouldn't be a proverb.
