Now you're being rude.

It does matter - if you don't put a comment (and I happen to think  
that your usual "fixed stuff" comment is woefully inadequate), then it  
could be construed that your edits were copied from other sources. If  
you actually did survey it, then why not say so? Also, if you abandon  
OSM for FOSM, if this data is contaminated, it will also contaminate  
FOSM (assuming FOSM will be using OSM CC-BY-SA data).
