If it were that simple, I don't think the whole yin-yang thing would be such a big deal. It would also be wildly uninformative, because it comes down to 'Never too much, never too little.' It's like saying 'Always practice correctly.'
Secondly, doesn't the balance between yin and yang imply the change from yin to yang and vice-versa? Your interpretation doesn't seem to allow for that.
