Look, you don't seem to have read what I said.  I know the node won't
be in the right place.  But I can usually recognize a McDonald's from
an aerial photograph, so I can put the node in the right place.  If
there is already one there, then I won't add a new one at all, I'll
just tag the old one (or leave it as is, if it's correct).  If I can't
see the McDonald's from the aerial photo, I won't import the node.

This email is what is highly incorrect.  Every email I have sent to
this thread has reiterated that I believe the data should be reviewed
before importing it.  I am well aware of how accurate TIGER addresses
are, and I am 100% in agreement that they are not accurate enough to
import automatically.

Please, review the messages you are responding to before importing
your response.  I'm sorry if you find this rude, but I don't like to
repeat myself four times.
