There's a difference between "promoting" and "showing a simple, terse
example". This I think is the latter. I'm pretty sure if you ask any of
the on-staff developer advocates if you should be writing
production-quality code like this, they will probably say no, using a
better mechanism. But this is short and to the point. The best
production-worthy example would, unfortunately, take at least twice as many
lines of code.
Also, this particular BT API is deprecated.
