Try doing some geoprocessing once in a while: this is not an unusual quirk out IRL, and is one big PITA for delivery: address says "Sokolska 20". Okay, let's guess from the other metadata that the city is actually "Prague" and not "Ostrava". No such house number at this address, perhaps should have been "sokolOVska 20, Prague"? Wonderful, that exists, solv- oh wait, do we have two different houses with the same house number? We do, multiple clicks apart, and both are legally correct. In other words, that's a very good example you've used, exactly because it shows the underlying assumptions as faulty.

And then there's the concept of 'vanity addressing', though usually negated by postcodes/zipcodes - where affluent/"good" suburb is adjacent to a "less desirable" one - I'm not familiar with the geography, but for example where someone might say Beverley Hills, but give/live in Culver City's ZIP. Or in Melbourne, when I worked for a utility we'd get a lot of people who'd quote their address as Mont Albert, with a Box Hill South post code.
