Exactly. It is this practice, which S&W uses all the time, that cause the appearance of inaccuracies. A date that might seem curious in the SCoSW appear so only because very few changes occur on a "hard" date. Most every change is a TRANSITION over a period of months or even years.
In my own mind, if I think something happened in a certain month base on a preponderance of evidence, I know it's probably plus or minus a month. And when I see something that happened in a certain year, I am not surprised to see examples later from the year before or the year after.
It's just the nature of all things S&W.
