The only "evidence" you have provided are your "experts" and
"traditions". They are not data. They are interpretations of
data that can be wrong. Even _all_ of them. Unanimity in
error is still error.
Experts and traditions are useful and often provide insights
that help with understanding, but when I find that the
experts and traditions contradict methodology, I tend to go
with methodology.
The search for truth is not a democratic process based on
majority vote.

Just because it is old, that doesn't make it correct. Just

I don't see how it would work in Prov. 25:10.To put that verse into modern English, if you have an
argument with someone else, argue with him, and don't
reveal other consultations, lest the one who hears it
treats you well undeservably and your evil report will
not return. As I understand these verses, if one gets
people to treat him well based on falsehood (more likely,
one sided portrayal), when they find out that they have
been snookered into supporting him (taking sides in his
argument), they will make sure that he has a bad
reputation at least in their own hearts. Like all
proverbs, I am reading between the lines, looking at
the actions, to try to make sense of what is said.
This is the same sort of reading between the lines to
make sense of "a stitch in time saves nine" or "pretty
is as pretty does".
