Closest source to the date of birth is usually more reliable than a later census with estimated age or birth year from a tombstone. Exact or estimated date of birth (not just christening or baptism) is needed to make sure that children are in the right order by birth *before* creating a lengthy Legacy descendant "book" report.
A researcher can plan a complex database with a source for every detail BUT it is too much of a chore to remove excess sources and repeated master locations every time a "book" report needs to be edited in a word processor to add pictures one by one.
One readable-size image of a source, like family names from a larger census page is worth more to a reader than a repeated text citation in endnotes for every detail. -- Elizabeth

I would find the "Sourcing all Used Fields" option useful if it didn't source the name. What is the value of sourcing the name anyways???
