Who cares? Now that you know that the Heisig keyword for 吾 is "I", you can look it up, and from there paste it into any one of the multitudes of free electronic dictionaries to get its meanings, readings, etc. There are other side benefits to doing RtK, but that's really the main thing you get out of it, in my opinion; a super-efficient kanji dictionary. Sure, only beginners are going to need to constantly look up kanji like this, but hey, the book is aimed at beginners.

And they'll have learned the Heisig keyword for every kanji long before they're learned the meanings and readings from the traditional rote method.
