But this important point does not appear in r4ds's chapter on tidy data. Nor does it appear in the relational data chapter, which opens with (paraphrasing) "You may end up having multiple tables, somehow."

Note: saw your request for feedback on twitter; and not being a twitterer, assumed you'd welcome feedback here. Sorry if I'm misusing your issue tracker.
