As long as we're talking normal, everyday, "manual" mapping. Like, 100 edits a day, or maybe 1000 edits on a good day. For things that go beyond a little mapping by the individual, we tend to have processes, e.g. for imports, for automated edits, for organised edits. The general idea behind the discuss-these-things-first rules is not that one mapper is better than another, but quite the opposite: One mapper alone can actually make stupid mistakes or suffer from bad judgement, something that the larger community can help against.
