Aw c'mon guys. Use a little common sense here. Look further down the chart. Using your logic in the 2nd section, it's OK to have #14 on a 35 and in the third section, 50-amp breakers need 3/0!
It's the wire size the lugs in that section will accept...NOT the recommended wire size for every amperage breaker.
Sheesh!
