I think you're missing the point. There are a large number of pointless 
notes, such as mentioning things which *aren't* missing, or ones such as 
this, added today: https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/1008125#c2036202

We have no way of communicating with this person to ask them to stop or 
confirm they're intentions.

I believe Notes were a reasonable idea, but poorly implemented with 
little control on how they're added or their content and limited methods 
of verification.
