It wasn't about doing a perfunctory job; rather, the requirement from the library was merely to write a brief description of the books' general contents, with detailed to concise entries, so that the recipient at the library could see everything at a glance, ensuring that there was no forbidden content, such as anti-Confucian or heretical remarks.
Other content, even if it was fallacious arguments or opinions that were wildly at odds with mainstream beliefs, could be critically viewed and included within the library for future generations to study.
Thus, this task could mostly be completed quite simply, a cursory read-through was all that was needed.
