+ * ═══ WHAT A DOT IS, AND WHAT IT IS NOT ════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+ *
+ * A pin is a locality marker for a PEOPLE, not the location of a settlement, and the data says
+ * so if you look at it. MEASURED over the 2,107 placed groups: 2,048 distinct coordinates, so
+ * 49 coordinates carry more than one group and 108 groups sit on a point they share with
+ * another — 41 pairs, 6 triples and 2 quadruples. Four groups share 12.843781, 75.247906 in
+ * coastal Karnataka; four more share a second point a few kilometres away.
+ *
+ * The coordinates also carry FALSE PRECISION: 1,274 of them are given to six decimal places,
+ * which is metre resolution on a figure that describes where a people is found. Rendering that
+ * without comment invites a reader to treat a dot as an address.
+ *
+ * So the sheet says what the dot is, and where a point is shared it says how many share it.
+ * "Approximate" alone is not the honest word — it hides that some dots are literally the same
+ * dot, which is the part a reader would otherwise never discover.
