What if a driver has an accident and says "I got the map from OSM and it
states this is a primary route - so I expected it to have been suitable for
my journey.' ?

Why doesn't OSM seem to care about the quality of the mapping - marking
roads arbitrarily to someone else's classifications rather than as per what
appears on the ground ?
