Three questions, kept distinct

Classifications belong to this precise use of the citation. The same source may be assessed differently when it answers another research question.

Researcher's analysis

The entry directly states the date and was recorded near the event. Compare it with the civil birth register before marking the conclusion proven.

A classification is not a verdict

Original or primary information can still be wrong. Direct evidence can conflict. GeneaProof preserves the citation and reasoning so another researcher can review the conclusion.
