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. <br>

Looking at the imagery I can see how it might be thought
they connect, especially when none of us are using
google maps for verification, right?<br>

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.<br>
<br>
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.</blockquote>
