Side 257: It is not surprising that, for a given data base, after specification of what is considered to be a proper set of constraints, one may find that most of the existing data do not abide by the constraints. Unfortunately, most real data bases are very "dirty". That is, they contain data that do not abide by the formal constraints derived from the requirements analysis. This situation should not be considered a fault of the data base. The world is full of special cases which are not thought of when specifying constraints. The data bases accept and digest these special cases, while the constraint specification and enforcement do not.
