What bothers me here is that this isn't a "good enough" situation.
This isn't so-so information in an information poor environment.
Two thought experiments:
*Let's add SparkNotes to the catalog. After all, SparkNotes has
information about books. Therefore, since all information is good
information, let's add it to the catalog.
*If SparkNotes, let's add free-essay-mill essays into the catalog.
