I get that as well.. an anticipation of the end. I note that I don't get that nearly as much with LOTR, but that has all those appendices at the end.
Should pull out Tufte and see what he'd think. I think a progress bar would be more intuitive. While numbers are compact, they're also more abstract about something that (nominally) would be experienced in the concrete.
