That's all the information it would ideally have on earth, but then again, there are aproximately 8.8 BILLION habitable planets on our galaxy alone, and the more advanced ones oughta have a lot more information to store. However, about our planet, the HHGTTG had only this to say: "Mostly Harmless". It does have an entry for human beings though, so we actually don't know how much information about us it contains. |

That's probably it.
It is already apparent that the guide is curated from two enormous office buildings, has a host of low-paid field researchers, and culls any information deemed not relevant to the hoopiest, most towel-aware set of galactic travelers.
Which is to say that when people are talking about Netflix, they probably actually mean an extensive catalog of high-definition movies that cater to the prurient interest. And when they say Wikipedia, they mean expert tips on how to find temporary companionship and cocktails from the native populations of unfamiliar planets.
That's a lot harder to put together than a simple catalog of facts and knowledge.
