I think the theory is that if you have already done the hard work of
zooming in, the next guy won't have to because he'll see the coloured
tiles at that location. So it's quite a valid bit of crowd-sourcing,
if we accept that the end result is worth having. The end result being
that the whole world appears in _some_ colour, even at very low zoom.
