That is what Dave Nielsen said during one of the seminars too, that the
original GDW idea was that only the interesting (aka, with planets) systems
were on the map and that there were a loads of planetless red dwarfs around.
Then somehow, this was forgotten when the Scout-book was written and all
the small red dwarfs were placed in the table as possible results again,
leading to all sorts of strange systems with Ag planets that have a medium
temperature of -100C.
