Imagine the mess. A new program arrives and all programmers must supply
a
new book for all their programs, old and new. Otherwise everybody would
suspect everybody else. Do you know how many books this means per year?

I guess the best way out is through competent learners, maybe helped by
wide
books. With this, chances of getting trapped in more than very few games
are
minimal. Let the programs take care of themselves.
