this will obviously depend on the individual case, but in some instances in 
Europe I have seen the published open data boundaries were simplified 
geometries. Just because the original datum was precisely acquired doesn’t 
necessarily imply that the published open data (often derivative data) is super 
accurate as well (our own errors in the transformation of the data during the 
import aside).
