The idea that the OSM database "just reproduces geographical facts"

I would like to join the laughter so please show me an example of a
non-geographical fact in the database.
Turn restrictions, maximum speeds, oneway streets, even the value of
the highway tag is not a geographical fact. The whole craft section,
lots of the non_physical stuff. And I'm sure there's more.
Yeah, I just looked out of the window and realized that the streets have
no names painted on them. And there are even no boundary lines in the
landscape.
Man, I really should get out more often.
Bye, Andreas
PS: Sorry for the sarcasm but I decided that I've better things to do
than nitpicking on the exact definitions of words or terms. You can
spare any replies because I will just ignore them.
