A page earlier he explains that an advanced nature is created by controlling two elements simultaneously, using Yamato's Mokuton as an example: "He uses it together. By controling the nature of 'earth' and 'water' at the same time, he creates a new 'wood' element which he can then manipulate.". Everything you just said is spot on except for the bolded. Kakashi never ever made such a general summary in chp. 315-316. You can argue that he somewhat implied it, otherwise would mean that all three different translations that I have access to omitted stuff.

Yin and Yang are no elements and that is why they can't be used to create a new nature. This. This is always the piece of detail that you've simply been unable to back up with any piece of material from canon in like the past 7 posts that I've been asking you to show something. Well, to be fair, you already declared that it was never shown or stated. Or have you found any proof or rationale grounded in canon?

I've worked on this topic for a really long time, I've translated those words myself multiple times and I really know what I'm talking about here. If you still can't see it, I can't help you. Yes, you have worked on this topic for a long time, and you have also formed you own preconceptions, one of which you have unfortunately failed to buttress with anything from the manga or databook.
