conclude that in some cases the best and most operative description is not
reached by replacing one representation by a better one, e.g. in some cases
removing shadow bicycle paths or sidewalks and incorporate them in the road
tags.

If an agreed OSM project goal exists, where uncompromised and non-reflected
micro-mapping [the consequence of your phrase "everything needs to be mapped
fully"] is described as the ultimate goal, please help me with a pointer.
Then this discussion is over, and I must accept loosing some of my faith in
the overall usefulness of the project.
Otherwise I think we are obliged to continuously put some thought into how
we really end up with the best and most operative map description.
