Why not?

I would love to see some ground level or aerial/satellite images 
documenting the verifiability of those outlines.

The good thing about verifiability and the core of OpenStreetMap in 
general is that you don't have to trust some imagined authority about 
the data, you can independently verify it.

I try to give people the benefit of the doubt and assume in such cases 
they are just ignorant of these principles or do not get why they are 
important but with organized efforts like this i can't help but get the 
impression there is a certain amount of malice to sabotage or at least 
an excessive amount of carelessness.
