A possible (slightly contentious) view might be that:

  * some people have been complaining about the quality of HOT additions
    - sometimes unfounded, because it's more a "new user" thing than  a
    "HOT" thing per se.
  * one of the complaints - perhaps because it's an "easy to find"
    problem - is unsquared (or unrounded) buildings
  * HOT therefore make a big deal about squaring buildings

I've never been hugely bothered by it personally - people can easily 
square them up later if that's appropriate.

Best Regards,

Andy
