We do so much for stupid people that some times it feels like if we do any more, we'll lose our freedom and quality of life. There's always going to be outliers and we should just be impressed they made it as far as they did. We can't cater to them for everything.
- How are you going to lose freedom or quality of life if Google is forced to maintain its services and provide you with better information?
  
  counterpoint. google blindly accepts any change suggested by users leading to MUCH worse outcomes, or thoroughly investigates each request, GLOBALLY I might add, consuming more resources than exist in all the company.
  or we just accept that maps are sometimes wrong and use our fucking eyes while driving
  
  How about we split the difference and say that Google should look into it when multiple people make the same suggestion over a ten year period?
  And good luck using your eyes to spot this when it's dark and raining
