Frederik if you read the wiki, there are multiple examples proving +3m
in one case(out of 283m so very low in overall %), but a couple cm in
others(for big buildings). There is even an example to prove small
buildings are accurate as well.
It's cases like this that make me think some people are against
improving the map faster, and do everything in an archaic way. Would
you also question if someone went from building to building with a
measuring tape, saying how do we know this person knows how to measure
properly?
I think it is entirely reasonable for Frederik to ask these questions in
the polite, concise way that he does. Imports have a chequered history
in OSM. Local ownership seems to make a big difference.
In my opinion quality of map improvements is more important than speed
of delivery. If quality and speed can go hand in hand then so much the
better, but imports that quickly fill an empty space have not always
turned out to be very valuable.
I can make no judgement about this particular import, but Frederik is
entitled to ask pertinent questions and I support his effort to keep the
data quality high.
