That's a great theory, but I don't think many people subscribe to
it. Of course anybody can improve on imported data by tagging it, even
if its location is already perfect in every way, which, being a
database created by humans, is not even remotely likely.

There is no point in having this discussion again unless you're going
to bring up something new. So far, not. OSM is a big tent with room
for lots of data and lots of opinions. You're welcome to express
yours, but you're not welcome to claim it is or should be the ruling
opinion.
