Why is it that the tutorial page, at URL

  <http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial-5/agent/data__set_8c-example.html#a1>

first shows how to define the default parameters for a
column of a row in a data_set table, and then uses the
function call sequence of

    netsnmp_set_row_column(row, 2, ASN_OCTET_STR,
            "Russ Mundy", strlen("Russ Mundy"));
    netsnmp_mark_row_column_writable(row, 2, 1);
            /* make writable via SETs */

I mean, wasn't the column defined by default to be writable?
If so, why make the explicit call?  What is the reason for
this apparent inconsistency?
