Issue about a statement regarding paragraph

[niruvt]

In section 02 of lesson 04 we have the following line.

We can go further: the next one 'down' is \paragraph, but almost always that's too much 'detail' in sections.

Does it sound like a value judgement? IMO only explaining the effect of this command is a more neutral way of doing it. Why would the reader need the information given by the second half of this statement?

Experience suggests that a lot of newer users of sectioning, both in LaTeX and word processors, tend to 'over section'. I think the idea of this comment was to guard against that. However, I do see the point: perhaps a better 'warning' here would be the objective one that \paragraph is a sectioning command rather than meaning 'start a new section'.

Thoughts?

In general experienced users have a lot of good suggestions and points that can help newer users in typesetting their documents better, so can we have an "extra" chapter for such suggestions? There can definitely be many more suggestions than only this one.

Yes. This sounds objective (and better 😉).
