Might have to agree (with Paul, that is): An introduction is the equivalent
of a suggested route through a dense forest. Taking the suggested route will
probably get you through the forest in one piece, but there are an almost
infinite number of other possible routes through the forest. Some will lead
you directly into a mud pond, others will lead you past the cave of the
forest trolls, but if you trust your own judgment, you'll probably find your
own way through the forest, without relying too much on the suggested route.
