Don't you think this is a bit misleading statement? "... don't know 
anything about the subject" isn't really the case if you draw streets / 
houses from imagery.

For me the wiki principle is that anyone adds information the best as he 
can. If there are bugs / missing pieces, the next one that comes along 
can improve it.
