The Two are not a summary of the Ten. The Two are beyond the reach of good people. So the Ten hung from the Two at a level bad people could understand, up to a point, and obey. Not because they wanted to, but because God threatened to kill them if they did not.Ok so I am unstudied and confused, so let's read the passage together and see;
Matthew 22:40 Lexicon: "On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."
now it should be obvious that if "all the law and prophets" are being invoked, then they are not "not needed" at all; they depend. The Two (or even one, Galatians 5:14 Lexicon: For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.") are a summation, if you accomplish those you fulfill the others, iow you do not negate the others, at least not unless you are an ordained pastor bent on ignoring the Scripture you cannot confront I guess.
