The only conclusion to fear of adding data, by any means, due to it

no of us want that.

Yep. If a pub has no beer then people won't use it, a pub with beer that
has gone off will get complaints ... and given time may be of use again.
Reliance on a 'maintainer' will fail eventually when the person moves on
(other activities, other places).
In cities it is not unusual for a shop to close, but the city would
still have similar shops and the vacant space would be taken by another
shop... possibly selling similar things. Humm sounds a bit 'Hitch-hiker
Guide to the Galaxy' with the lemon-soaked paper napkins? Where it is a
single remote service .. say Betty Hill store.. then there is a much
greater need to keep it 'up to date' and yet there would be less total
passing people .. but they would be more motivated.
As for Lloyds and TSB ... the function still remains in the same
location? So the service in fact remains but the name has changed...
not a great problem? Certainly the majority of people are not motivated
enough to do anything about it.

I'll agree that it is better to have a maintained set of data, but
once it is mapped it is easier to maintain. Locally I added Clacton
town centre and while I know there are some shops I currently need to
resurvey I did do three the other lunchtime when I went to collect my
new pair of glasses. With Vespucci on my phone I was just able to tap
each building in turn to check whether it was correct or not, and if
not update it there and then (a couple of instances where it needed
more complicated editing I added a note and fixed those when I got
back). It is the initial survey and mapping which takes the time.
But out-of-date data remains a problem - after all look how many
Lloyds TSB's remain
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/search?q=Lloyds+TSB#values
and the Lloyds and TSB names split in September 2013.
