So, if you say that it is not clearly defined in the specs > That is not > clearly defined in the specs (going back to my original question). it should a) get defind and b) one would, for current practical purposes, stick to the same moment in time inside each in-event period, be it either start, end, or middle. Given that real-world actions of the same type take variable amounts of time, one would assume the start times to be "more correct" and closer to the intended period than end times. Eventually, the "middle" times distance will be closer to what *actually* happened to the patient.
