So basically, you consider that craft refers to any manual activity, from 
dressmakers to electricians, which could make sense. Using the same definition, 
using office=psychologist would also make sense, right?

Going back to the electrician as an example. The workplace of a person who 
comes to your house to change a plug or make an electrical installation in a 
building is tagged craft=electrician. I’m fine with it.
What if this electrician does a very good job and get popular? The electrician 
eventually hires many other electricians, secretaries, accountants, and create 
a company. Does that workplace be then tagged as office=company and 
company=electrician since mostly administrative tasks are now held in the 
workplace? Or if only the final output of the company is taken into account and 
then still be tagged craft=electrician?

Just trying to figure out a way to make sense ...
and I find it helpful so far :-)

I would have rather described the key as being the place of cerebral or
administrative tasks, as opposed to craf which is the place of manual
tasks: technically it is not impossible that a craftsman has an office
in one place and a workshop in another (and even a shop in a third place)

> I would also use office=* for electricians because they provide services

it depends on the meaning of electrician:
if it is the person who comes to your house to change a plug or make
an electrical installation in a building, it is clearly a manual work
and not a service.
if it is the person working for a company producing electricity,
it is industrial with offices (but where there is no electrician)
