Indeed this is true but the target is constantly moving and evolving which makes it difficult to “keep up”. and the sometimes apparent schizophrenic / contradictory nature relates to the “there are also many roads to Dublin” aspect of this process, where some are comfortable and knowledgeable with ROM replacement so their conversations and instructions are at a high level and there are those that before a week ago weren’t exposed to the idea of replacement system ROMs, replacement recovery ROMs, ODIN, Heimdall, ADB, unlocked boot-loaders, etc. 
It’s been more than “a week” for me and I’m still trying to wrap my head around these “new” systems.

One last thing:
The person who helped me the most and frankly made it possible for me to complete my journey to /e/ was @SuzieQ. When I got stuck, she came along and nudged me in the right direction.
