And make note of the caveat about having no "paper trail" to check for data
entry errors.

Gord is absolutely right.

Consider these cells constants. That is, they are not part of the
calculation model presented in Excel. They have about the same status as
calculation results from a calculator, that you manually entered in Excel as
input cells.
If you use a spreadsheet the way it was meant, you can always recalculate
all results manually (however long it might take....). The accumulator cells
however can not considered to be part of the calculation model, they are
just input cells.
