I think this is just amplifying sense 1 a little, and is covered by the note. The DBJG mentions "emphasize his point emotionally" (p 327).

I guess so. We split なのです and なのだ. I'll do that now.
I like keeping the terms in the indices complete as it helps identify modifications to the sentences themselves. Around 50-70 sentences get changed each week and I have software that tracks and identifies the changes. The completeness of the indices is central to this.

I still think it'd be better off split. Do these two really need to be linked to hundreds of example sentences? Shouldn't a few each be 
enough?
