Auto/bot/mechanical edits amend one tag on one type of object. If (& it's a big if) there are amendments to other objects they stand out like sore thumbs. edits are much more likely to be erroneously missed where a contributor changes multiple tags on multiple different objects, even if it's only over a small area.

It's disappointing to see OSM is attracting people who are not really interested in its primary purpose of providing *accurate* data to create maps, but just here to 'manage the process'.

Please remember this anti mass edit ruling was created, in a display of blatant 'do as we say, not as we do' arrogance, by those who oversaw the crap Tiger import in the US & yet couldn't be bothered to fix it.
