And for the most part, you'd be right.... but it still isn't good
practice to *not* teach something strictly because it's not entirely
significant.
For example, polio has been all-but eradicated, but it doesn't
mean that we should stop vaccinating against it. By ignoring a
problem because it seems insignificant, you allow it to once again
become a problem by not properly guarding against it. So even if it's
just a bare mention, it's still worth that mention.
Now, would I be all for a chapter on it? Probably not. ;-P
