Those changes mostly remove dubious data, rather than replacing one dubious datum with another. In a few places dubious data were replaced with less-dubious data, but these exceptions were individually justified with sources.
In the long run it'd be better to remove dubious data, or at least move it to a "dubious" area optionally available to users who prefer it; but one step at a time.
If the removing of dubious data results in the answers generated changing then that is the stability that is objected to. These changes resulting new output that is only changing because of two lots of dubious states is the problem. Documenting that to the consumer is difficult bit here when you are saying it's changed because we don't know what it should be ... yes the previous answer is dubious, but so is the reason for changing it? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
