On the book menu, there is an menu entry "Table of Contents". When that is selected, a window is shown that says "Table of Contents" at the top. This is where I would like the page numbers. I assume this is what you are referring to as "TOC displayed by parsing the toc.ncx file"

... For me the only reason for having page numbers instead of, oh shocking thought, just navigating to a chapter would be to match the page numbers with a dead tree book. In a dead tree book, the page numbers are fixed and you need to flip through the pages to get to a chapter which is rather different from tapping on "Chapter 10 – The Wager Lost By Winning" and being deposited at that position in the ebook.
Perhaps you can enlighten me as to why you would want a number that lacks any true relevance to be displayed? ...

Multiple reasons. It would depend on how they implement it. If they implemented ADE page numbering, I would use it for syncing between different devices and determing time to read.

... I really don't think that I am making a mountain out of a molehill. I however do seem to realize how the page numbers displayed in an epub format ebook are synthesized. If you can point me in the direction of a easy bug free method of inserting page numbers into the toc.ncx file ...

Could you explain which TOC.ncx file you are talking about?
In case I haven't made it clear, I know next to nothing about epubs/kepubs.
And I'll just restate what I said before, selecting an entry in the table of contents, I see a page displayed with a page number at the bottom. I would like that page number displayed in the table of contents; I'm not saying the current API supports it, I do think it should be "easy" to display the page number. I do realize that it is easy for me to say, but so far, I haven't heard a good reason why it isn't easy.
