If you aren't aware of the existing facilities we have to flag these problems, I don't think you're really at the stage of planning such a large-scale automated edit. > Is this likely to introduce some errors?

While you're entitled to your opinion, you aren't entitled to force that opinion on the hundreds of community members who aren't reading this list. The "fixing more errors than it introduces" argument is simply not acceptable in OpenStreetMap. Honestly, I think you should rethink your approach to solving the problem. You seem to be tackling it from the perspective that running a bot is the right way to solve it, and it's not. Until you can think beyond this point I don't think the conversation is going to be very progressive.
