Since OSM editing tools aren't AutoCAD you can't be 100% precise on the
geometry.
Some small features can actually be summarized as nodes when drawing their
shape sounds irrelevant regarding the cluttering it introduces.

I'm sorry that was trivial for me.
I won't draw a circle for a 5cm diameter pole and so on...

That's why tags are intended for several kind of primitives instead of only
one sometimes.
