Even when someone has been there, verified the POI, and used Google Maps 
only as a fancy kind of notepad, in lieu of jotting down the coordinates 
on a piece of paper ?

Of course, I understand, if he has placed the POI in Google Maps by 
checking their map and positioning the node from memory, this would not 
be usable for OSM.
