I'm trying to withhold commenting on the assumption that there is nothing wrong with fishing in the first place... Nope, I failed. ;) Deano, perhaps instead of seeing the article as over-analysis of a proverb, look at it as an analysis of unhelpful assumptions some people have made when attempting to help the poor.

I’m trying to withhold commenting on the assumption that there is nothing wrong with fishing in the first place… Nope, I failed. ;)

The need to use common sense when teaching doesn't mean that teaching is a bad thing. Moreover, the proverb is meant to show that if you do aid that doesn't sustain itself, it just means that you need to do that aid again tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, etc. That said, of course immediate aid is important, but it has it's own problems.
