No, I'm pretty sure that's right -- you haven't misunderstood.

Yeah, I expect that'd be what most people do -- but the issue is not that
it's one extra click, but that it's unintuitive for those who haven't yet
gotten the hang of the layout of the Internet Editions. The ToC link is
there on every page; as borne out by the periodic queries and complaints
that we get, it's not immediately obvious that it's the way to proceed from
a "turn to the answer" section.
A link to the section list is the right way to go, in my opinion. (I
previously worried that we'd have to link to both section lists in 05SotS,
but since they don't actually cross over, only one needs to be linked to
each puzzle.)
