Not sure what you meant here, it's entirely possible to enter all
these credits (even down to per-track photography.)

Don't put in an AR if you cannot confirm the information does not
equal "ignore it".  If I don't know something, I put it in the
annotations, because there's always someone out there who does know.
I actually had a swedish session drummer mail me a precise list of
what he'd worked on and when, and who with, based on an annotation,
which let me fill in quite a lot of info for some fairly obscure
albums.

As I said earlier, it's far easier to add more information than excise
bad data.  Encouraging fuzziness is encouraging bad data, as far as
I'm concerned.
