it is the case.
S1E1 is only ever set if nothing else has been found.
it's a fallback mechanism...

and it's always been like that FWIW. nothing new here so I'm unsure
why William was surprised by the change.

I can't think of a single reason why S1E1 wouldn't have also been set earlier

If flicking through recordings I see something with no artwork I immediately know something is 'wrong' and needs to be fixed. If it has something plausible, I probably won't realize it is wrong and therefore won't fix.

I see things differently.

I don't want nothing. I like pretty thing.
And to me, having a generic artwork is preferable to having nothing.

And seeing that I'm the one with commit access and who keep breaking
stuff, I get to have my way :)
