Are you sure you are making a point?
And do you really think you could transform a random map into a really good map? Would you even need all the stages involved? (Or would you only need a base image to prettify and work on)
He might mean that many of the maps being offered were generated by something. Altho I did my best to offer as complete maps as I could, I still always made a point to say that people could feel free to take one that had a lay-out they liked and make it better, then make it available for download under their name.

Just my opinion, but people seem to like generators that can give them something to work with more than a completely finished product. The map-makers all have some part of the map they feel they can improve on, but not necessarily all of the map.

Something along the line of....
"I generated 100 maps. One was a continent surrounded by water with good choke points. So I edited the map to give it decent province names, changed a couple of badly placed provinces, scattered some interesting graphics that fit what was in the province, added a few special story provinces such as the Valley of Dragons and the WereWolf Town. Finally I added Ermor as a forced AI player in a heavily defendable location with a specially designed immortal."
