I think it would be helpful if the preview made some distinction ?

Yes - that’s the issue!

Need some way to show, at least, that I haven’t just posted the exact same link twice.

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
