In that case, I beg to differ. They are in the elisp reference manual to
illustrate the values of functions or variables. When you read the manual in
the Emacs whose version corresponds to the manual (as it is supposed to be the
case) and you evaluate them, there are no reasons why they would not reflect
the actual numbers of the Emacs version.
