yes, armchair mapping generally bears the risk of misinterpreting the actual 
situation, (depending on what kind of tags you use this can be more or less 
important).
Doing it in search and replace fashion is slightly different though, as you 
risk falsifying  information someone else has meticulously surveyed (assuming 
that armchair mapping is mostly about the addition of new stuff).

yes (let's say a survey is less necessary, still there is always the 
possibility something has changed in the meantime and any edit will make it 
appear as if the feature still existed at the time of the survey)
