Not so.  He also points the reader to the *last* line in the Foreword, but I

Foreword has been written last or close to last, after the Commentary. 

Again, not so.  In the Commentary he corrects his error in calling the sound
outside his room as comming from an amusement park, and pointed says he's not
going  to fix his earlier error in the text.
