That's a good question... At the very least, we shouldn't change the existing
behavior that a statistical patron records a localuse no matter what, imo,
because that's the primary purpose of a statistical patron.


For MCPL, I think we would want both - we use both pieces of data to track
library usage in different ways, and in this scenario, we would generally
assume that the item really was returned by one patron and later used locally
by another. (It's pretty common for items to get accidentally skipped when a
staff member is scanning a pile of returns, and get put back on the shelf
without actually getting checked in.)

But I'm sure there are other libraries that use those stats in very different
ways, and may have different opinions - I agree we need to get more input on
this.
