I think you'll find "undisputed" means "unchecked".
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:aeroway says aeroway=runway is a
"runway of an airfield" and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Aeroways
says aeroway=runway is "The area of an aerodrome used for the landing
and takeoff of aircraft".
If I can only map the runways of an airport but not those at an
aerodrome then how am I supposed to tell them apart? Whereabouts on the
wiki is the definition of what an airport is?
