Hand, open pollination?

Ok, I've searched everywhere, and can't find a reasonable answer. I notice the idea of open pollination is popular. If there are a number of pollen donors, wouldn't it be similar to open pollination?

What's with Organic seed? Here's another label. Organic or Organically grown vegetables I can see. If you fell in love, but the love interest was raised eating red meat, and hasn't for years, would that be some reason to stop associating?

Why're the labels OP or Organic important? Some species simply couldn't reliably be open pollinated, like corn. I realize corn can be reliably pollinated if there's enough distance or time between different bloomings of different cultivars, but here in TN, I don't see much of a possibility of that.
