He expresses this as "it is most important not to lose sight of the trees for the forest"
2) The idea that interpreters were heavily influenced by the time, politics, and overall environment around them when making assumptions about the text.

its interesting tha interpreters are willing to contradict to or insert theri own interpretations that are not well supported bc they have such a need to insert explantions
 of why cahacters are doing sthing or a place is named a certain way fro ther own understanding
