A lake is a land use, youre more likely to be looking for a picnic area or parking area at the lake, which is an amenity. A park, is fairly vague, but is generally covered by leisure. A hairdresser and museum, are currently amenity. Sure, one or two users of OSM might want to navigate to an apple tree or a power station, but think of what a large portion of users will be navigating to. You then come up with most items that can be classed as amenity. As I said in my original email, the comment about somewhere to navigate to is a bit vague, and if you dont like it, youre welcome to make your own suggestion, I was just trying to suggest what the current usage of the tag is.
