THE HINTS- VITAL TO SUCCESS

[ithinkudo2]

I believe understanding the definition of what a clue is maybe helpful, but in order to expedite my point; a clue is just a piece of information or evidence used in the detection of a crime or solving a mystery. But it is just that, evidence, therefore one just has to unravel or figure out what the clue means in order to solve the crime and or mystery. So how can a hint in the book help you first solve or figure out what the words in the poem mean without first understand or unraveling the clue, it's backwards, of course in my opinion. I believe that attempting to identify what the potential subtle hints are in the book prior to figuring out what the clues mean is just expensive folly, and is why I believe that this discussion will be entertaining.

So don't go getting your panties in a wad because of someone who has a difference of opinion.

Means,
That the way I have all ways looked at it, if you spend all your time figuring hints, then you never get to the clues. The hints are no easier than the clues.
