As there is no formal representation theory for qualifiers, any categorization
of them is unlikely to totally describe their potential usage.  I tried to
come up with a categorization that reflects property descriptions and a small
sample of usage.

So I categorized stated as (P1932) as no information because I see it being
used only to provide surface syntax from the source use.  The Wikidata value
of the statement then provides the totality of the Wikidata meaning of the
statement.  It is certainly possible that the source provides more meaning
than is captured in Wikidata, but that's outside of Wikidata.

I see determination method (P459) as mostly providing information to Wikidata
as to how much to trust the Wikidata value, which to me makes it a certainty
qualifier.
