Yes I am aware of that fact :P I use the references to find out where things came from and if I'm arguing a point in a debate I generally try to cross the sources. And yes there is info we wouldn't have if not for the DB, but a lot of that (in my opinion at least) isn't 'core' information, it isn't what you need to know about a character. Its information that was added to give a bit more depth to some characters. If the DB didn't exist then not a lot would change. As it happens they do and we have to deal with that. Either way this is really off topic - any discussion about databooks is irrelevant unless the regulations that this thread is about get put in place.
