Well - then everything in the OSM database is an address and 
noaddress=yes is universally a nonsense tag.

Taking refuge in arbitrariness is a natural reaction to the complexity 
of the world but it ultimately does not solve any problems.

If you don't agree that an address needs to be unique that is fine but 
so far i have not seen any other consistent concept of an address being 
presented that makes sense, somethings that helps someone to locate 
something does not cut it.
