Right.  It's also not consistent, which makes it hard to mine.

And justly so. A book may have millions of uses, and only one of
them will be by the data-miner; it would be plainly weird to publish
a book aimed at the one data-miner, and ignore the millions of uses.
It would make much more sense for the data-miner to proceed
judiciously, rather than doing quick-and-dirty extraction.
