Hi Birkir,

It is up to the student to use the graphs in a book and the transcriber
should not be making the judgment whether content is included or excluded
from a book. The problem is that the text of the chapter refers to the graph
so it becomes vital for a student to have access to it. Never mind whether a
graph or diagram is really necessary. I hear you on the intelligent sifting
front but a student is free to sift as he deems fit. Why load book producers
even more?

I am more of an ideas person so language is crucial for me when
understanding new concepts. I have not really used diagrams too much except
when studying geometry.
