Hoi,
When data is to be shown in the context of history, the appropriate label
is to be shown, is to be found. It is as complex as what we do with
statements.
The point is very much that when you state that when labels are not
intended to convey "complex" information, the intention is debatable. It is
arguably wrong.
Thanks,
