I personally tend to stop my contribution to OSM because of the very bad
stuff I see when mapping:
Triple contours at the same position, double / triple nodes,
unconnected, tiny streams / rivers with a bunch tags.
You seem to be arguing against *bad* imports, not imports in general.

Dear Nathan,
thats right. I am not totally against any import, but we need a way to
prevent *bad imports* with huge consequences for all of us.
Nobody is able to fix the most data which were imported during the last
years. You, by the way, do a very good job. Thank you very much for any
of your contributions. But what about others ? Mapping for example all
highways with all related stuff by hand is probably impossible ! The
question is not importing data yes or no, the question is in my oppinion
how can we cope with the consequences of *bad imports*. We should have a
way to make imports as easyly as possible to help new mappers
contributing to OSM but we need also a way to keep the database clean.
