Should we delete the entire paragraph or just the words "as discussed in the
example in Section 3.1".  I would assume the words of caution related to
automated processing might still be appreciated.

I also noted in section 4.3, there is a reference to a deleted example, too.
This smaller example seems it is OK, but I'll remove the reference and
cleanup the text a little.
