It is ever-so-slightly better than user-submitted data. Specifically, if =
an IX or a colo tells us "this person says they are a =
[Customer|Member|whatever] and they are not", we will remove that row =
from the DB.
Then again, PeeringDB never claimed to be anything but user-submitted =
data. Just the opposite.

Taking just Seattle IX (since I have a personal interest there :), it =
says "177" under "participants", but =
<http://www.seattleix.net/participants.htm> disagrees.
To be clear, PCH does a better job than most (all?) others. And a =
ridiculously difficult job it is. Finding how each IXP presents its user =
/ traffic / whatever data an trying to collate it is nearly impossible.
But thank you for trying!
