Which lacks real sources. The wiki author only cites maamarei chazal from
which he deduces his points.

But he appears to be saying something quite logical -- we wouldn't call it
HLMS if we could derive it from a pasuq or sevara. It has to do with the
definition of the idiom HLMS, not with taamei hamitzvos.

Tir'u baTov!
