How these figures are kept
As printed, on the day
Each point is a quarter's own figure from that quarter's release. When a later release reprints it, the later copy is kept but never replaces it, so every figure says what a reader could have known when it came out.
Placed, or held back
Every figure is traced to the annex, page and row that print it. A number printed in more than one place with nothing to settle which is held back: stored, but not shown as a value.
