Seems obvious to me.

No.

When I listen to the lungs but find them normal I either
decide that I don't record that fact or I decide to record it.
What I then record is that I found that in this encounter for
the episode I was acting on the lungs were found to be WNL.

In outpatient care I seem to encounter quite few normal
observations that weren't done with a specific agenda in mind.
This is different from Weed's original "data base" concept, BTW.
