The catalogue is not an official historical database. Where does it say it is?
It is a database that helps sellers sell and buyers buy. It is also a database
that is owned by Bricklink, which in turn is owned by LEGO, and has date information
in it. But they don't claim the dates are correct or indeed that any of the
inventories are correct. In fact there is a disclaimer on every inventory saying
that they do not guarantee it is correct.
