That simply isn't true.  I've personally checked and added data as part 
of your "Shell" import.  The problems raised with that import and even 
more so with this one have been all about quality, not whether in the 
abstract data should be imported at all (see e.g. "Data for Iceland 
seems outdated. We are not willing to accept it" just that someone 
posted here just last night).

That's simply not true.  Let's think about the process for a second:

1) A user of your "validation" site sees an example navads entry. It's 
chosen randomly for them; they will likely have no local knowledge.

2) They press the GSV button, see that it's present there, and then 
click "Good" to "validate" it in your import.

3) Repeat from (1) above.

How is this process _not_ using Google Street View to decide which items 
are "good" to import?

The very first point of 
https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Contributor_Terms is "1. We 
respect the intellectual property rights of others and we need to be 
able to respond to any objections by intellectual property owners. " and 
goes on to explain exactly what that means.

You're well aware of all this as you've been part of the community long 
enough to understand it (you were even on the OSMF board in 2015/2016).  
It looks like you're simply trying to "pull a fast one" here - adding 
GSV validation to your site, hoping no one who realises that it's a 
problem will notice.
