Most of the time I use the feature to download around my GPS tracks and expect it to download everything. The thing is unfortunately the validator gives a lot of false positives (at least here in the US) and if you blindly merge all nodes you end up stiching together a bridge and the road/river/train track going underneath to name a few. This is due to the way the data imports coming from TIGER use nodes at the same position for a lot of different things. I have effectively being fixing some of those blind merges, as part of other edits, and I do not see why I should be called a villain for this where I actually FIXED data.
