I get what you are saying but for my case, it's not a consideration. I don't have variences in title and authors because it's primary based on ISBN, only if there is none does it search other things but I never have to worry about fuzzy matching because all my books are matched exactly. Any duplicates that are non-binary are marked with (1), (2), etc and that is easy enough to find and remove or move.
