Is incomplete information incorrect?  If so, we've got an awful lot of
human vandals.

What makes you think human mappers get everything right all the time?  I
believe you're the one who added all the Florida state route
relations... did you actually drive over every mile of road to verify it
before adding it to the relation?  Or did you look at the data on the
map (name=, tiger:base_name=, ref=, etc) and create relations from that?
