Ask HN: Why is Amazon book information awful?

Amazon is a big company and bookseller, so I'd expect that the information it provides on books to be of high quality. But often it's laughably bad, in a way that an AI algorithm should detect. For example, you see at https://www.amazon.com/Optimization-Techniques-Fortran-Kuester-1973-06-01/dp/B01A64AHLQ Optimization Techniques With Fortran by J. Kuester (1973-06-01) Paperback – January 1, 1656 by J. Kuester (Author) The title, obviously, is "Optimization Techniques with Fortran". Fortran is old, but the book was not written in 1656. Unmentioned by Amazon, there is a coauthor, Joe H. Mize, according to Google books. I guess the answers to my question are that bad information does not hurt sales if it still has the keywords that customers would search, especially for old, obscure books with low sales in any case.
