Ok as has been noted we do need more formal definitions of these terms and I will try to propose some.

For "questionable" though .... the idea is that - and perhaps we need to accept a very brief model within the spec - there is a data entry person (e.g. a cataloger) entering metadata, or some machine process extracting or converting data or metadata. This process or individual determines, algorithmically or based on rules of operation, that the source for a particular date is dubious or questionable. So there would (most likely) be no consideration of the audience. At least, I would not think that would be part of the model.
