I'm sorry to hear that and I'm sure this was not the intention of writer
of the changeset comment.
In this particular case, the new mapper changed the building outline to
the top view base on aerial imaging, which was quite different from the
footprint due to parallax. As far as I can find, the changeset has been
reverted based on mutual consent between the two mappers. But I don't if
the difference between the top view on aerial imaging and the foot print
was explained to the new mapper.
Mapping discussions like these are inevitable in OSM, independent
whether the data comes from government data or not. The quality of the
government data in the Netherlands is very good. But if we are aware
that the government data is incorrect, we put the correct data in OSM
and inform the municipality so they can update their database. The
response differs between municipalities, but is generally improving.
One thing that we might improve in our presentation of government data
is to take the 'under investigation' flag into account and present this
information to the mappers. Unfortunately that field is currently not
available in the official WFS service.

You do have cases of new mappers being told that they are "doing it
wrong" because they try and update OSM data that is (at least
partially) regularly updated by imported government data, though.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/63105329 is one that springs
to mind (mainly because it's a buolding I've visited a very long time
ago). Whatever the rights and wrongs of the situation, this mapper
didn't feel able to continue in OSM.
