As I understand, the plan is to load the buildings in manageable sets from the 
tasking manager,
and person doing verification will skip solely clearly bizarre geometries and 
assume that everything
else is correct.

I think that given presence of nonsense geometries means that seemingly OK ones 
cannot
be assumed to be valid ones, and only verified ones should be imported.
