[speculation] While this is hardly conclusive, its quite possible they are trying to hit all the markets. PCs/Consoles/Handheld Game Devices/Smart Phones/etc. On the PC or console you would have a full toolset and on the smaller devices it would be a scaled down version. (Spore Tamagochi) [/speculation]
Having to constantly "unlearn" stuff is a good thing, IMHO. It shows that our knowledge base and science is expanding and evolving. What would be disappointing is if these age old "facts" were never rechecked/refuted.
