No one has been able to refute my claim that if someone would enter it
by hand, it belongs in OSM regardless of its source. And if it comes
from surveyed data, then it makes no sense to edit its position.
Metadata, perhaps. But unless you've been out in the field with a
theolodite, you have no business changing the location of the NYS DEC
Lands position.
