No! it's an option to ignore the task if the user doesn't think there's 
anything wrong. Maproulette is based on guesswork. A task doesn't mean 
there's an error that definitely needs fixing

There appears to be a compulsion by users to complete tasks in 
Maproulette even when they have no *accurate* knowledge. This is wrong. 
It adds *erroneous* data to OSM.

There's a clue to Maproulette's randomness & uncertainty in its name.

I believe a good way to improve OSM data is to ban Maproulette.
