Obviously you do not yet have mediaeval ancestors in your file, for whom original documents are mostly non-existent, confused by persons with the same names and title living at the same time, and for whom only RELIABLE secondary sources are possible. For these MANY people, having several of these RELIABLE secondary sources agree on the facts is essential to surety that the fact is correct, ie:

It is essential to list them ALL. If you have only one source for an event, that is not a problem. But when, to verify events, you need have the concurrence of many RELIABLE sources, having to enter all of them each time is, often literally, a royal pain, and VERY time-consuming. Oh, yes, you need to make sure that you are attaching the correct clipboard. That obtains, no matter whether your clipboard contains one or five sources. But having to change clipboards 5 times for each event for each of dozens of people is much more headache-producing than having to remember what you have on your clipboard. This is not a problem for you now, but you may yet find mediaeval ancestors, and find this an incredible time-saver/boon/welcome return.
