The people discussing this issue with you are not questioning the value
of this information to you or any other person. They are just pointing
out that the OpenStreetMap database is not the correct place to store
this information, because we're trying to build a crowdsourced map of
the world where you don't need to be a domain expert to be able to
contribute.
