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.
