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.
