Is a survey valid without correcting for tape sag?
Is a survey valid without a starshot to fix North?
Is a survey valid without laboratory tests on the instruments used?
Is a survey valid without having a licensed Land Surveyor on the party?
Is a survey valid without tieing to a govenement bench mark?
The data is what people give us. I fail to see the survey format as
needing to dictate "validity"? And if it did, I'd have to turn to
something else to represent data I already have.
