Why do you suppose the CIA World Factbook *also* gives
*ONLY* 'Greek' as the noun and adjective used to refer
to the people of Greece?

Another reason: State Department people are sometimes called upon to visit
countries which aren't their normal stomping grounds. They're expected to
not look or sound like morons. The factbook's a quick way to brush up on the
basics. Of course, this isn't necessary for the president.
