Generally a page-map is made from some print version of the book.

And the entire point of my little speech is that page numbers out there for books
are not reliable, therefore the "fact" that ADE's are as reliable as anyone else's merely means that they are as UNRELIABLE as anyone else's.
And besides, that isn't true. Amazon Real Page Numbers are reliable, ADE calculated page numbers are not. ADE page-map numbers are reliable, just as much as an APNX I am sure -- but how do you know which one you have, without breaking open the EPUB?
No, I am not worried about malicious editing of the page-map. I am worried it simply won't exist.
Thus -- avoid page numbers in ebooks.
