Confused about "Article" Tagging in Word Biblical Commentary

I'm looking at WBC, Vol. 38A: Romans 1-8. The resource is set to move from article to article, using the up and down arrows.

With the resource positioned at "§5. The New Perspective on Paul: Paul and the Law", I anticipated that using the down arrow to move to subsequent articles would at the very least include moves to the main/high level paragraphs identified by the resource itself--e.g. §5.1; §5.2; §5.3, etc.. Strangely (to me) using the down arrow will result in moves to various locations within these main paragraphs, while entirely skipping over the beginning of these main paragraphs.

What constitutes an article? Who decides? On what basis?

I can confirm that WBC 38A works the same for me as you describe. I think the point here is that the editor didn't treat these subchapters of the introduction's paragraphs as relevant units (~articles?) himself, since they do not show up in the ToC of the book and subsequently not in the ToC of the Logos resource. Maybe the reason is that these subchapters have no headings.

In such instances there may even be an automated algorithm at work, making sure one 'article' doesn't get too long for Logos to handle, thus breaking it up into seemingly arbitrary chunks of text.

I'd suggest you report these article breaks as typos, maybe the Logos text production team will use the author's structuring into subchapters as a guidenline for breaking the articles when they go over the resource at one time in the future.

Thanks, NB! It helps to know it's not just an issue with my installation, and your thoughts regarding possible causes are as good/better as any I had considered.
