(4) some people incorrectly use the place=* tag to reflect the 
government of a place rather than the population because they didn’t RTFM.

(5) Some of the OSM data is incorrect.

(6) OSM’s displayed label sizes and the level at which they’re shown are 
just stupidly high. (i.e. you have to zoom in ridiculously far before 
you can see anything.)
