Sorry for the double response, just realized I wasn't logged in. But here's my thought process behind listing the single use storylets. I want it to be trivial to keep this guide up to date as the number of sources for various items changes and grows. If 38 out of 39 sources are listed, then you know that 1 source was added and the table needs an update. On the other hand if you only list 20 out of 39 sources, now it becomes a question of was the source omitted because its single use or because the guide is outdated. And the only way to answer that question would be to check every omitted source and see why it was ommitted.

Adding them to the table is a trivial way to keep track of these sources so that the guide is up to date in the future and you know why they aren't part of a grind. There may be a better way to present this information, for example, I could just tack a list of single use storylets to the end of a table section or I could just not fill out their entries except for a note that says "single use". There are options here, but I ultimately think all sources should be tracked in someway. If that makes sense.
