They are all correct. The points listed are only general ideas and some parts of the site are still very much a work in process. There are very few fixed rules in Chinese Medicine which makes understanding the base theories of vital importance to the proper application of Chinese Medicine. The second link you noted is the one that is under the most development. It takes quite a bit of time to make these clinically appropriate cross links on each page.
