I'm not feeling more responsible for data created by other OSM contributors
than third-party geodata. Both have errors or will be outdated soon or
later.
I think the point is more about contributing in areas almost empty or in
areas almost well mapped (whatever it is completed by contributors or
imports). The first is "creation" and you see immediately the effect on the
rendered maps, the second is "maintenance" and is much less funny. That's
two different types of contributions and two different public.
