I do belive the torah is the proper roadmap, However When travelling between 2 places there usually is more than one way to go and each way might have reasons not to take that direction
One way might have more traffic and another might have no highways and a longer travel time
I think the problem here people are told there is only one way to get from point A to point B and all other routes are wrong. If the direction you are given does not work for you for whatever reason and you are told no other routes are valid, You just decide not to make the trip and give up.
And Unless we stop telling people There is only one route from Point A to Point B, nothing will change and for some people that might require a whole new route (New Routes arent wrong, just different and serves differnt needs)
