Facts are not subjective; however, what you prefer is. Indicia are not subjective, thus we go with the indicia.

You keep talking about compilations as if that somehow matters for individual issues. Any given volume of comics may be compiled into numerous trade paperbacks whose volume numbers will often have absolutely nothing to do with the volume of the original comic publication. (Conversely they may never be compiled into anything at all, for example, comics #26-114 from Iron Man Vol 1 aren't reprinted in any published compilations, not Masterworks, not Essentials, nowhere.)
