Probably because even on d.o. you can find misinformation as to what hooks are from a purely php programming perspective.

The reason for that may or may not be due to the nameless horror that has been the hook system up until now— which no man dare look at and live to tell.

Thankfully, Drupal 7 makes the hook system a bit more performant, if not sane. Looking forward to this session Jacob!
