of course, learning from the source is preferable. imo ;)

Yes. Maybe what is causing the conflict here between us is more subtle than you realized in the first place
In my opinion no single human being is so intelligent and so objective that he could revise almost everything or anything in this world.
No single human being is so intelligent and objective (in today's world) that he could alone interprete a text of a great philosopher (for example, Kant) - without soon receiving any plausible criticism at all.
Nietzsche's mistake is that he probably considered himself such a wise man -> thus, my references to egotism
In reality, you need a wide variety of sources and interpretations in today's academic world. By reading Nietzsche and Nietzsche only you wouldn't necessarily know much about Nietzsche - unless you are an intellectual ubermench - which I doubt, so the best way is to use as many sources and interpretations as possible
