How can you say that? Paterno is spot-on.
Any book, even a reference manual, is a guide - period.
People used to say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Flood worked under Eno, and came away with the concept of "if it ain't broke, break it!"
You going to argue with Flood's success? Listen to "Zoo Station" on Achtung Baby - if Flood had "gone by the book" we'd never have heard that song that way, in fact many of the songs and productions that we hold dear wouldn't have happened if someone with an ounce of creativity didn't go against the grain.
