OpenStreetMap is fundamentally based on the existence of a single, verifiable reality. The truthfulness of a statement in that reality is not a matter of majority opinion but a question if it can be demonstrated to be true or false. > Your strait definition for example does not contain logically > fallacy, but is just unrelated to reality, as I have shown, which is > still OK for philosophy, but bad for mapping, which is about actually > representing the world outside.

This can be easily shown through you not being able to verifiably state the length of the straits i am talking about.

I am sorry but we can't really have a productive discussion here if you keep ignoring past discussions and their results. The statement that i have not commented on why your ideas for how OSM should work are bad is preposterous. Both Joseph and me have explained in detail on github why the status quo in rendering is a bad idea and has no long term future. I have discussed the fundamental concept of verifiability at length on my blog: http://blog.imagico.de/verifiability-and-the-wikipediarization-of-openstreetmap/ and in discussions on the wiki, in diary entries and on mailing lists. > For some reason you claim that changing the type of geometry in the > world of geometry into another type of geometry is OK.

You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding here - with the choice of how something is modeled in the OSM database mappers do not make a statement about the geographic reality and this is therefore not subject to verifiability. The geometry itself (the coordinates of the nodes and how they are arranged in ways and relations) however is. And i agree with Joseph that this is not the best place for such discussion. Given the abstract nature of the topic and how it concerns the very foundations of the project i would even say mailing lists with spontaneous comments and a natural tendency for tunnel vision on the current discussion thread are not really a good medium to handle this kind of topic. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/
