You might disagree, but you are also wrong. OSM is a database, not a  
map. It is very important to get features tagged correctly from the  
start. If you don't do it from the beginning, someone else will have  
to come back, notice the error and correct what you've done. That's a  
complete waste of your time, so why participate in the OSM at all?

What's the point of mocking experts, rather than listening to them?
