I think it's a great point. We often look at too many things in life just at face value and neglect to see their intrinsic deeper meaning.

The word has also the letters of Panim in it.
Perhaps we can say then, that we should not take the Mishpatim only at face value, but delve deeper into their inner meaning.

This is my observation. What is your opinion about that ?
