Unless it supports the basis for an entire analysis....such as the 1995-96
AFM schedule you looked up in an old file somewhere. Or if one person of
authority for one symphony backs up a single claim - then it is good
enough to use the one number for the arguement right - to make claims
regarding an entire industry!

It's good you are a musician rather than an attorney......they'd kill you
in court with arguments like this!
