Even here we have to be wary of Mara.
Because I too believed what you had written.
But I got fancy and clever.
Being fancy and clever, I had this thought:
“What if I let go of the current delight and simply pass freely on to the next?”

Looking down I saw no branches.
The monkey screamed in fear.
This is why Bhante Sujato translates MN1 as:

My monkey was attached to relishing successive delights.
But I still didn’t understand until I read Ven. Bodhi’s translation:
delight is the root of suffering –MN1
That closed the loophole I thought I had found.
