I concur with your anger, my friend. Allow me to tell you my personal rule:

"Do not read forewords or introductions whatsoever, unless it was included in the very first edition of the book's publishing. You may read the foreword/introduction after reading the real book."

With Translator's Introductions, it's a grey area unfortunately. Usually I read the first couple pages of it, where they say the most important shit, and then move on to the actual book.
