Any references to substantiate this? Or did you just mean there are 
more interpolations to the former than the latter?

Yes. If one does not learn it from the right achAryan. Same is 
applicable even to NDP (azhwar hails "muniyae naanmuganae 
mukkannappa" - A normal reader gets confused as to why would azhwar 
call the supreme as Brahma or Shiva). Any 
shruthi/smruthi/grantham/shrisookthis have to be learnt under an 
achAryan(I meant the right one).
