Tracking has a lookahead component, too. The contents of any story up
to the end of the lookahead component is valid information. If my
delay is 0, then I can use all of the story information in that "file"
(i.e., that half-hour of news). If I have a lookahead of 10, I get a
bunch more data to look at.
