But note that our most potent weapon against vandalism is the ease and
speed with which it can be undone.
Frederick,
That's only the case for OBVIOUS vandalism or accident, as in the OP, that can
be seen in a casual 'fly-over' the map. What about subtle vandalism (renaming
random streets, changing one-way directions etc)
Even in areas that I have personally mapped, I doubt that I'd be able to tell
at a glance that this had happened without digging out my original notes and
comparing street by street(in effect, remapping the area) which I wouldn't do
without a huge visual clue.
Cheers
