It is unfortunate you feel this way, for it is a fairly narrow way of 
thinking.  Why do you feel that the authors of these recipes had to write 
down every possible substitution on every possible recipe?  Do we do that 
today?  No, we don't.  Why not?  Because it likely would have taken the vast 
majority of the authors life!  These recipes are guidelines, just as they are 
today.  They are not standardized, corporate recipes.  But hey!  If you wish 
to consider them as "carved in stone", then that's you business, not mine.  
Enjoy.
