Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.

That's different from just being an ass. (And there are authors who are out there who are known for being asses, and about whom everyone is made happy when it turns out that Coke gets poured on them during a con. But as I said upstream, knowledge of author behavior used to be restricted to people who had the ability and inclination to go to cons.)
