I believe the phrase is "tagging wrongly for the renderer" - we
constantly consider the users/consumers of the data when tagging, but it
is clearly frowned upon to "lie" in the tagging to get something to show
up in a particular way or otherwise to achieve a particular effect.
Whether tagging is "correct" or not depends entirely on your frame of
reference. The destination of a road can also be derived geometrically
by following the road to see where it leads, but that would not be at
all useful or appropriate to the navigation use case.
