What is the deep or underlying siginificance of this interjection, which I have never heard of before/seen used like this?

...para la que,como muestra,JOE SOAP constituye...

For me there is a clear error in the Spanish text, in my opinion a word was omitted and the correct paragraph must be:
TOM JONES ahonda en los orígenes y la tradición española de la psicología para la educación, para la que,como muestra, JOE SOAP constituye una figura de singular relieve histórico.

Como muestra meaning as an example
