If someone removes information from an article and states on the Talk
page that it is incorrect, it tends to stay out. If an edit war
ensues the article tends to get protected. I really don't see any
difference in principle.
I think there's a fundamental difference between removing a disputed
sentence and "blank and rewrite with proper cites". The latter might
be quick and easy, but it also fails to assume good faith.
