Well... Not to be a pain about this, but I still think making a clearer
reference is better. If I start reading the document at section 9.4 (by
clicking the link to "9.4 LOOSE" in the ToC) I will not have seen the
previous section and the example dataset.

Andy's suggestion to do some (sub)section rearrangement might also help
here.
