I suspect mentioning OSM (obviously didn't even bother to google the spelling) was an afterthought after writing 8 pages of copy for google and being afraid that it might come over as being an ad.
As to if it gives us too much credit, we haven't cast our net further than conventional cartographic data at this point in time, so obviously we are not competing with the entirety of googles offerings in geo-space. However there where we are, we are doing a good job, we just shouldn't expect instant gratification, this has and is going to take time.
