I would also enquire whether one thinks that the examples should be
removed from the Postgres documentation for fear that they may be cut

Everyone of my trainees want such thing - for databases, for other
programming-languages etc. It's the worst thing you can give them.
The< will copy, they will paste and they will understand nothing.
Learning is the way to understanding, not copying.
