I agree that this is a common situation. However, I'm claiming that we actually know _more_ than just the hamlet's center in that situation. There will often be houses that are well known to be part of that hamlet, and other houses (in fact, almost 100% of the world's houses) that everyone will agree are not part of that hamlet. So the world's houses and farms can be (somewhat simplistically) divided into 3 sets: A: Verifiably part of the hamlet. B: Verifiably not part of the hamlet. C: May or may not be part of the hamlet. In my opinion, verifiability is not a valid reason to stop people from attempting to map the sets A and/or B.
