Fine, seems you don't like the wiki principle ...
I think you're getting confused with the Wikipedia Principle: "you have a
right to contribute and edit, no matter if you don't know anything about the
subject". Wikis aren't all like that and OSM certainly isn't.
Don't you think this is a bit misleading statement? "... don't know
anything about the subject" isn't really the case if you draw streets /
houses from imagery.
For me the wiki principle is that anyone adds information the best as he
can. If there are bugs / missing pieces, the next one that comes along
can improve it.
