I must be missing the point here.................................
The terrain data within something like an EGPWS is not usually produced or even endorsed by the national charting agencies. The systems themselves are usually advisory only.
The data within them is subject to the limitations of the data gathering, reducing and storage algorithms.
I feel the quoted statement is therefore a little misleading.
