As stated earlier, routing engines are simply doing the math. Certainly
there are routing issues, but I suspect that most routing problems will
come back to OSM data. If we report all problems to the router and it is
our problem, how does it get back to OSM to fix? If OSM editors determine
that the problem isn't with our data, there needs to be a feedback
mechanism to the OP so they can decide if they want to report it to the
routing provider. Notes provides that feedback as long as the poster was
logged in.
