Sure, agree, though I have seen plenty of incorrect/conflicting green check marks. Making your own entries does help, and using some common sense and nutritional understanding does go a long way.
It also just puts me on megatilt when there is an entry that I know is the right calories but has an idiotic spelling, so I can either re-create an entry when the numbers are already right or have something like "sandwhich" in my log.
