I didn't add that phrase to V. Someone suggested

point is that it was strongly supported and still is. We don't do
truth. We report what good sources are saying, and we leave it to the

Sorry - I was unclear. You were the one who added it to the draft of
NOR in 2004 (though I can't find where the suggestion was originally
made).
What you added to WP:V was a change from "Wikipedia strives to be
accurate" to "Wikipedia strives to be reliable. That was this edit:

So you were the one who removed accuracy from WP:V.
Which, actually, I'm also curious what you meant by.
