Please think about the beginners for a second... About all the people who are more used to reading maps than making them. About the people who use GPS units to find their way around, and are willing to go out of their way to report an error in the data. My first "input" to OSM was through OpenStreetBugs. After I had seen that the POI in question was "recorded", it encouraged me to delve more into OSM, and the second POI that I input was through Potlatch. Think also that there are countries where the number of active mappers is closer to 10 than to 1000, and where local knowledge would be very welcome...
