Walking/Hiking Answers: How accurate are OS Maps?

Got an answer to the following question?

How Accurate Are Os (ordnance Survey) Maps

How accurate are OS (Ordnance Survey) Maps?

A friend (more an acquaintance really) told me that if there are two features that are close to each other - then the OS will just move one of them so that both can be accommodated on the map.

Is this true?

And if it is - by how much do they 'move' things?
