Ok, I'll re-word: How is a continent node verifiable, especially with regards to its position? What is our plan if two people should start edit-warring about whether the continent node should be at 51.0000002, -109.0000002 (as it currently is), or rather at 51,-109 or at 50,-108? Representing a tree or a pothole with a node is not exact either, but it's more or less within the accuracy of our available measurement devices. Representing a city with a node is much less accurate, but people seem to agree for most cities, placing the city node in the heart of the old city, or where the city hall is, or some such. Do we really want to approximate whole continents with a point, and if we do, where is that point to be placed?
