Backcountry or basic campsite? Does remoteness and accessibility matter?

I added a Danish translation for the wiki-page. However, I am a little puzzled by the last sentence:

“Note that some mappers tag mere suggestions where they think there is a good place to sleep. If that is the case, you might find no traces of people using such a place for camping.”

Should such informal sites with no visible trace be mapped at all? Shouldn’t informal use have at least left traces that can be confirmed in the field?
