When I look at people's estimates, I also have to ask myself questions.
Example:
When a new fashion emerges in Italy (Milan), it may take 10 or 20 years for it to be captured in pictures.
It might take 20 or 30 years for this fashion to reach the north, and another 10 or 20 years for it to be captured in pictures there too.
If one person is more familiar with Italy and the other with northern Europe, I would consider both estimates to be reasonable.
After all, it's not a car model where I know exactly whether it was built in '72, '86 or '94, and the drawings are anything but accurate. And the fashion change was certainly not every spring.
