The only significant source of contention at
Wikipedia is when people try
to unduly influence articles.
Exactly.
Yet, it is possible to create a system where
unduly
influencing articles
cannot be achieved.
But how can this benefit you? If such a system
actually worked, you'd be
completely unable to edit. Oh wait, we must already
have such a system,
because you are effectively unable to edit now.
if we are willing to let our influence be based on
the quality of our edits
We are; that's why you have absolutely no influence.

You know, Ill admit there is a certain ambiguity when
we talk about "IAR" as a "stick of dynamite, and as a
valve to allow "decent wikipedians" (our clique) to
trump "trolls, vandals" (undesirables, etc.).
To my mind there is less ambiguity when a recent
appointee to WP:AC forgets to mind WP:DBAD.
