Rule 1.4B6 (ficticious publication, distribution, etc) – Ignore

Q. 1.4B6 in Ch. 1 gives instructions for when “an item is known to have fictitious publication, distribution, etc.” That is extremely confusing, and I wouldn’t think you would get the information from the chief source of information (i.e. t.p. verso) How could this happen?
