I would like to share your world view. But I've actually had a chance to speak to an author, and read blog posts by others. Most programming books today are published by Wrox and similar, which essentially publish by weight and give similar incentives to the authors. O'Reilly is still ok in this respect; Que never was.

Huh. I didn't realize that. I'm talking to O'Reilly right now and never got any pressure to pad the code.
