Because getting the value returned by op.eval() is extremely expensive and
should only be done if this component of the rule is evaluated (assuming
that the rule has a more complex pattern implicating other types).
Calling $op.eval() (don't call it eval!) being expensive is a good reason
for keeping the returned value in Working Memory :-)
You can have one rule that determines whether it is required to call
$op.eval() and do the inserts and another one that uses the inserted facts.
