Why we don't know book sales

I think it's horrible how book publishers are so reluctant to release sales information. If authors really knew how books sold, I think they would have much more realistic expectations. The LA Times recently published an article about why the publishing industry doesn't want to release sales figures using the excuse that the information is proprietary--only for authors and agents, although both parties will tell you it's like pulling teeth to find out about book sales.
