Please choose your words more carefully. Sounds like you are suggesting that
everything needs to be dual sourced now. This kind of fundamental principle
needs to be expressed with the same degree of care as a law, so it should be as
simple as possible (but no simpler) and unambiguous.

I would not be surprised if this was more of a rural/urban divide than a

then address a letter to that new name and city and ever expect it to get

Germany is not the "whole world". If you have multiple datasets for

Hello
I think we should settle the question of how "ground truth" or
"verifiability" applies to NON-PHYSICAL objects (it is clear with
physical objects). Because currently I see at least two opinions:
1. Non-physical objects are mapped by observing/verifying their
