This discussion originally started in this changeset, which quite obviously was _not_ driven by a
ground survey:

Some even larger in Sweden:

The latter give source="Lantmäteriet Topographic Map" which appears to be CC0
according to the wiki,
ok, however probably not the best source for large-scale mechanical edits.
Haven't found the edits on the Balkan yet that you mentioned in the CS
discussion.
Regarding the question lake vs. pond, please remember the world is not black
and white.
As with many features in OSM that could be A or B, there are always clear cases where everybody
agrees that one object is A and the other clearly B, but there are cases where it depends on the
judgment of the mapper.
The water in my neighbour's garden is a pond. The thing in the middle of a village is a pond. Quite
observable.
The excavation from the most recent ice age, where I can swim, is a lake. Now go and find things in
between.

Oh, you're talking about water=pond after all. Nothing about
water=pond says man_made or natural, it just says that there is
a pond of water.
