The logic of this is quite clear: the statement must indicate the *actual*
extent according to the rules for the field (whether exact per dcrmb, or
recording numbered portions only by less rigorous standards): so
corrections are not only OK, they're necessary; merely implying that the
source numeration is in some way incorrect is not, even if a note is
included in the record. To which dogmatic statement I add "(?)".
