This is an absurd argument, we did plenty of things where Google and
Google Maps failed.
This is not an argument at all, it's a question. Empirical evidence
would suggest we have also not yet found a solution, so we are in no
position to gloat about this.
Currently we are still in the dick-waving stage and not converging on a
consensus that will be usable by most mappers and data consumers.
Let's start with a hypothesis - a certain tagging model which we expect
will be good enough (to start with). Then check how that fits against
real-world situations, make incremental refinements to the model, and
iterate. Perfection is the enemy of the good! If the result of this
discussion is to be of any value at all, it must fit with most of the
world, both the geographical realities and the human/cultural aspects.
Getting too deep into the details too early is bound to fail.
