How do you conclude that? Think of it... shepherding allows someone to
learn WHILE working. Would Moshe Rabbeinu have become Moshe Rabbeinu if he
had a job that didn't include hours of quiet contemplation? The Shelah on
"umoshe hayah roeh es tzoni Yisro chosno" seems to be saying that Moshe
learned derekh Hashem by extrpolating from his own experience to hos
HQBH would lead His "flock" -- and that directly led to the subsequent
revelation at the seneh! Would David haMelekh been David haMelekh without
practicing leadership through-rachmanus on his sheep?

Tir'u baTov!
