I sure admire your wit but not your understanding of logminer.
Logminer can be used to audit databases and database auditing is part
of security. That's why the book mentions logminer in introduction, I
would expect a chapter on logminer. When the book discusses flashback
query as means of auditing, more discussion on logminer definitely
belongs in this book.
