Presentation criticism

I have difficulty with this item. Not because of the difficulty of the work itself - I still know what to expect going to the body with Lao Tzu under his arm, nor because the translation or the comments of Marcel Conche frustrated (not not fluent reading the ancient Chinese, I would be in no position to criticize the first).

What shocks me is that translation and comments are distinguished by anything in the presentation. You have one or two pages on the translation of a chapter of the Tao, topped by its number, then several pages of comments surmounted the same number, and printed in the same size, same font, same style as translation. In any similar work, most authors strive to highlight, in a simple way (italics, bold ...), the text they are working to comment. Here, Marcel Conche seems to position itself as the equal of Lao Tzu to interpret us his good word, and it is also seen on the cover. One can find it trivial, but even without engaging myself in the trial of intent, the only kind enough to disturb my reading.
