Having some actual values be included in the example data could help to better illustrate the points in the text around it. This is bolstered by the fact that we already have explicit date, horizon, and location values in our data. Plus, we also show multiple variations on the same base data, where having different values to compare across variations might be useful
"As for keeping the value column the same or different for the data in the Examples section, I think that it makes sense to keep this as real as possible, so if you had real values, that would be great. But if not, I would have them be similar, but not always identical, because that drives the point that the results from a joint distribution may vary from those of a marginal distribution, at least partly because of the dependence. [The only exception would be] if you see a case where it seems that keeping the values almost identical helps illustrate and explain better, then you should do that. But generally, my expectation would be that they would be different."
