That's the whole point. We clearly see a regression, untrue angles, etc because the user uses an simplifying tool (probably https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Action/SimplifyWay ) instead of manually simplifying while staying as close to the ground truth as possible. That's the whole point I am trying to make. Of course improving incorrect data is desirable. Of course achieving the same "truth" with fewer nodes is desirable.
Okay, so the user should not have used a global simplify but instead have talked to you about why they think the mapping needs simplification. Fair enough.
Now that we have cleared up this point, could we please talk about your mapping? Could you please outline your process how exactly you decide what counts as a landuse=forest and what doesn't? And how exactly do you determine the forest outline to a precision of 1m. Do you have other aerial imagery available that gives you better views of the forests than the Swisstopo Aerials? Because I have a hard time to match the outlines I see on those photos with the ones you map.
