No, because of the "values"

by which I (unclearly) mean calculated results (as elaborated a
moment ago in another thread).

OTOH, printing out the grid as it appears on the screen would be
a natural alternative to blank output here:

I think it might take months, because class CensusView is a complex

I just mean an array of individually-editable cells.
