Well, the thing is that tenk1 is completely artificial data, so the
stats it produces are a tad on the meaningless/uninteresting side.
AFAICT the "road" table is the only realistic sample data we have in
the distribution.
However, I won't argue the point too hard. If the tenk1 example works
from a formatting point of view, go with it.
