Which transcript are you using? Listed where? Kroll does nog list “habit” as a possible meaning. Is “J. Star” a Sinologist, a paleographer, specialised in Chinese as used at the time of writing of the DDJ? “until I switched definitions” Yes, that would do the trick … Jeez. “ … just think of the degree of cultural chauvinism necessary for someone to suppose that he or she can translate the Daode jing without knowing Chinese. (... Chinese people don't try to translate Shakespeare without knowing English.). The only way would be if you had convinced yourself that you already know what the text says. ... “ (my bold) (Paul Golding) Changing the text instead of enduring the agonies of changing your own conviction. (Paul Goldin) “as we all know” Please substantiate your claim.

Exactly. Excellent speurwerk! 👍

To each his own. I hope you will find what you are looking for. Best of luck.
