There are quite a lot of objects in the database that disagree with you ;)

This is one of those cases which probably has a strong flavour of
country- or location-specific conventions. There are many addresses in
London which, if I had to tag them as buildings or building parts, I
could not stay sane! On the ground, around here, they are _very_ often
associated with multiple entrances on a building and not with
explicitly indicated building parts.
