Couldn't agree more. One of the most startling things for me while mapping is just how different things can be when you're actually on the ground and armed with local knowledge compared to looking at some satellite imagery, streetview imagery or similar. It's totally obvious why any map that is automatically derived from relatively low resolution data will necessarily contain mistakes. A map is one of the oldest forms of written communication. Some people think maps came before written language and as such are an intrinsic part of what it means to be human. Just think of the amount of information being conveyed by a map! We don't accept computers making other written works, why accept computers making our maps?
