No, I suspect he wanted to create TRACK boundaries.  Not all consumer
cd-players actually let you select INDEX numbers.  In any event, seeking to
INDEX numbers is never as fast as skipping tracks since determining the
INDEX number requires tasting the subcode [actually reading one frame of
data] as it skips forward/backwards.  Seeking to another track is a known
quantity because of the TOC information.  There is a formula that can be
used to determine how many mm out from the origin of the CD (also defined in
a standard) given MSF values.  With INDEX values, there is no such shortcut
possible.

When about to destroy the Ring of Power, you cannot ignore Quality,
