That's news to me! Given that you say "strong" I must assume that you refer to something other than talk-gb(?). For sure it is preferable to have a sign on the ground but I don't agree that a Local Authorities failure to signpost a right of way is justification for us to ignore such an important piece of information. We have some fantastic supplementary sources of (open data) information that many within the OpenStreetMap community have fought hard for. Let's use them - I know I do and will continue to do so :-) By the way, if you extend your logic beyond rights of way then we'd have to delete lots of data which is still based upon tracing the old NPE maps and downgrade/delete a whole swathe of data which is wholly or partly based in aerial imagery. As such you can see why I disagree wholeheartedly with your interpretation. Yes to real surveys and real signposts as much as possible but no to "cutting off our nose to spite our face".
