Yes, but he writes:

"That's because everything that is a building should be tagged as a building”

Which is the same as saying: "everything that is a tree should be tagged as a tree”

The point is that there is confusion about the word “building”. In my opinion not everything that is built is a building. A car e.g. is built, but is it a building? A ship is built, is it a building?
