I will make & reinforce my point of view vehemently, especially when
misuse of Google is implied, & definitely when repeated amendments are
to the detriment of the database.

Wrong. I was using Streetview to confirm to the forum what I
already knew - that the roads don't join. I don't need Google as I
went there & did a proper visual survey, whereas your employee
just "thought" they "might" join. This armchair guesswork is bad
for the OSM database: If you're unsure if an edit will improve the
quality of the map - please don't make it.
I use the validation software you mention, but only to correct
data that I have first hand knowledge of & never to amend
something in another time zone where I've never been. Even when I
do use them, I stop to think whether it is an accurate error
report & not blindly fix it assuming it must be true.
A reminder to watch our language on the list. Like Frederik said,
assume good intentions and don't use hyperbole or "loud words" to
force your point.
Thanks,
Your friendly list moderator
