I still don’t understand if we have a conclusion. And I don’t understand why proportion is the correct data type for O2 levels but not for alcohol levels.

I would be tempted to try to determine what use has been made of this archetype so far - i.e. in creating real data. If no real data has been created, then it could in theory be changed. - thomas On 07/01/2019 12:11, Ian McNicoll wrote: > Hi Silje, > > As you say, I think this a case of emerging clarity (or less fog of > confusion!!) as the various use-cases emerge.
