First time I have heard that as a (documented) rationale behind "ground
truth".
Surely the stronger requirement is public verifiability, from a freely
accessible, objectively reliable source. What is physically present in
situ is a subset of that - but so are public records. This would make
the mapping objective, in the sense that a random second mapper would be
able to verify the correctness of the data and/or come to the same
conclusion.
