<p>Most principles have constraints, even those in OSM. Like for
example "the freedom of speech" has a constraint when it comes
to the targetted use or expression of racism, incitement of
violence, sexual, religious exclusion etc.... <br>

<p>Thanks, this is an important caution IMO. Please keep in mind
that verifiability is not more "core rule" than multiple others
collected in "good practices" category:<br>
</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice</a> <br>
</p>
<p>And we even have it clearly expressed there:<br>
</p>
<p>These "Good Practices" are guidelines that will increase the
quality and value of our map data without any additional effort.
Nobody is forced to obey them. <b>There might be cases where
these guidelines don't apply, or even contradict each other.
</b></p>
<p>Also "OSM data should, <b>as far as is reasonably possible</b>,
be verifiable" does not sound like "core" requirement - even in
cases where other "rules" are not clashing. And when they do,
there's no meta-rule that verifiability is the most important
among them.<br>
</p>
<p>It's good to follow guidelines and good practices, but there's a
triple bias:</p>
<p>- to cite only one of them and calling it a "rule"<br>
</p>
<p>- treating it as absolute<br>
</p>
<p>- assuming it's winning every other aspect.<br>
</p>
<p>Please, stay away from this bias and let's read the actual
content of documentation, not just the headlines, even if this is
tempting to simplify.<br>
</p>
