Hi Luis I use the Comments about this Citation (in the Source Detail) to explain why things may not be as they seem - usually relating to the reliability or accuracy of the citation. The Comment is specific to the detail of the citation, so you can comment about the source being used in support of one fact differently to the way you might when used with a different fact - eg the source may be reliable for the name but not the date. I also use the numbers for the surety level as a rough indication.
