Are there some ideas that chess mentor cannot cover

Some chess books have pretty dense stuff that isn't just about forks and pins which chess mentor will have an easy job ingraining into students. Can it all be covered or will chess mentor only partially replace a full chess library

Disclaimer : I don't know what is in the mentor.

But I don't see how stuff with moving diagrams could be superior to stuff with unmoving diagrams, if filled properly.

What is "dense stuff"?

I mean complex ideas like how to use Petrosians "anti-chess" or whatever it's called to lure your opponent to overextend and then counterattack or how to create imbalances with symmetrical pawn chains
