If there's no need to blur edges, as you put it, why oh why would we want to introduce that fuzziness into our data? Sensing that we may be at an impasse, I would at least insist that mappers are strongly encouraged to also enter information about specific amenities, even if they additionally use some fuzzy summarization tag. And app designers should make use of those specific tags, even if they additionally unpack the summarized tags.
