Regarding facts, evidence, etc: I've always been of the opinion that you can put anything in your data you want, as long as you characterize it properly, i.e., if you have circumstantial evidence of an event, state that it is circumstantial but offer as much supportive evidence as you can. Use statements such as "Most records claim John was born in Timbuktu, but one record [citation here] states he was found in a cabbage patch". Or say "We think John was found in a cabbage patch, but we have only one source for this data, which has not been confirmed". I see no reason to exclude suppositions, even W.A. guesses, from your data, as long as it is clear to the reader 100 years from now that these ARE suppositions and guesses. Genealogists should never assume anything, but you have to assume that someone in the future is going to read your data. Don't deny the future genealogist the benefit of your intuition. If you have a "gut" feeling about something, record it! 100 years from now your W.A. guesses may be all the reader has to go on. Just my $0.02, and now, once again, I'm broke.
