It's the CIB that writes the CIB, isn't it?
But it doesn't know what its writing. Same way the LRM doesn't know what its starting. Remember all options can be time, host and phase of the moon dependent. In order to understand what the option is actually set to, it needs to be able to evaluate all those expressions and rule sets - a fair chunk of the PE.
