Hey Ian,

You bring up a very good point and it's probably time for me to repeat something I've said before:

Google is no longer in the search business. Instead, they are in the data collection business.

Having said this, the AdWords tool probably just collects info that you'd enter into AdWords anyway....And having said THIS, I'm NOT an AdWords user and have never used the program myself...So, AdWord'ers, use it at your own risk...
