Actually, they are true. The thinking  is that you have other data sources 
loaded into the IDV already. When you load in a bundle that has no data you 
select the data from the currently loaded in data sources.  The Formula box is 
really a field selector. The data source you had loaded is the Formulas. 

It would be tricky to combine the Data Chooser with this field selector.
