I don't believe I said it did, I do believe I said that a city is always 
incorporated, a town or village, "maybe."

And, as I also said, "local tagging as a consensus or guide" is something to 
consider.  This isn't alway black-and-white, nor easy.  As we "do our best," 
things eventually emerge as correct, though it usually takes some time and 
effort to get there.  (Consensus does).
