Even if you're in favour of armchair mapping, I think most agree that copying the names from the OS map is just 'phase 1', with the next and much more time- consuming step being to go out and resurvey to make sure.
Many of the discrepancies around here need a close look on the ground, but in many cases the names ARE there and it is just a matter of getting the compare process to mae the connection. SO there is little incentive to make changes since OSM IS correct ... so the 80% is probably a little low in reality.
