I agree with John - Facts and Events are NOT the same thing. Both would be useful to Users

Legacy does not have facts.  Legacy does have events.
Events are facts with dates.  Such as a birth EVENT.
As in Uncle Joe was born on Sep 12, 1908, in Chicago Illinois.
It is a a fact that Uncle Joe was born in Chicago.
Event's and Facts are different.  Other Gen programs have both
Facts and Events and I wish Legacy would include facts because
I think they enhance collecting genealogical information.  While
it may be your OPINION that they are "redundant and cumbersome"
other genealogists, myself included, regard them as efficient, because
in recording say a person's eye color there is no wasted space for
a superfluous date.
