The above output can be produced but it is not produced for all drives
which leaves me to think this report of attributes changing values is
idiomatic to some drives but is not really of great concern so at
least one manufacturer said. 

Actually so far smartd output is pretty useless compared to the output
of smartctl which tells you if your drive is about to fail.
