What is verification?

If it is altering data to recreate OSM data, we are using "verification"
to excuse copying.

If it is looking at the map, we are using "verification" to damn reading
a map.

So I'm not sure verification is a useful term. Describing the boring
mechanical actions that are being performed is probably more useful, as
these are easier to consider against the actions permitted by the licence.
