I'm not convinced that that's always the case. For example, "to-fix"
has just taken me here:

Whilst I'm no fan of "armchair mapping", you don't even need any
background imagery to see a couple of problems there (the "doubling back
way" and the kink in the road at the right, which is what "to-fix"
spotted). In this case it looks like that road has been drawn by an
inexperienced mapper, back when there were far fewer opportunities to
spot new problems like this as they arose (and before any kind of decent
background imagery was available).
Whilst it's certainly possible for people to get "overenthusiastic" with
QA site results, like with the "imaginery footpath creator" in the UK
recently, and often QA sites report errors because what's there is just
wrong (as well as geometrically impossible) and a survey is needed to
sort it out, in this case that simply isn't an issue. That village
probably has more than just a pub and a shop as POIs, and would
certainly benefit from a survey (which it might get from me; I've done
villages within a couple of miles of there), but would in the mean time
benefit from the basic geometry fixes.
Cheers,
Andy
