No. Are you shocked by my constructive criticism and constructive suggestions for improvement of what I perceive as a problem?

You seem to have the impression that I'm going to spam the list with examples of errors. Where did you get that idea from? I only included Marjins example because it showed 2 things related to my call for verification:
1) people capable of mapping correctly can produce map errors because our subject changes over time. This means that what I map today correctly might be incorrect next month or next year.
2) Martijn had the intention of producing high quality data but we as a community did not help him archive that over time because we have no system e.g. that could alert him if an object he created has not been verified/changed for the last x years. I would love to have a telegram bot notify me when one of my objects has passed a certain threshold of staleness.
Cheers
