I assume then you completely disagree with the claim that spoilers are
original research? After all, we can't allow original research just for
articles about newer subjects, we must completely eliminate it.
I don't like spoiler warnings myself, but the argument that they're
"original research" is frankly beyond silly, and starting to grasp at
straws. By that standard all Wikipedia articles are completely original
research, as they all involve judgment calls about how to present
information to the reader.
