In this case we are taking note of our own observation independently of

When comparing with somebody else's data it's important they are agreeable
to such use of their data. Openstreetmap prefers to err on the safe side as

It would be nice to have access to as many datasets as possible, so we can
compare and try to draw conclusions from this. We are nice too, in the
sense that we give all these sources the opportunity to check back and
improve their own data in the process.
