 Why that question?  The whole point of PI is to protect material that
 appears inside of OGC.

That's why the question. If they're claiming PI on something that never appears inside OGC, that's a strong hint that they missed the point of PI, and need to do more research. It's not conclusive: someone in legal might claim something as PI just in case someone in creative, editing, or proofing dropped the ball and let the term slip into the OGC. But I think that answering the question leads them to understand PI better.

Then shouldn't the question be "Does the PI never appear inside material marked as OGC?" PI that appears both in and out of OGC is inconclusive--it's PI that never appears in OGC that raises a flag.
