Dear M, 

Neither of the scenarios you suggest is likely to occur with me, or with any of the dozens of others whose work I've come to repect.

If I see the "hidden changes exist" flag, then of course I will either:
* read the current version, or
* use the "History" and "Diff" links 
to see what you call the wild changes, before editing.

But if a shortcut to 'edit the version currently displayed' would cause more harm than good, I have no objection to its being omitted. When I need to revert vandalism, I can just use the "History" link as always.

Do you still think there still something fundamentally, um, bad about the way of creating an encyclopedia that Erik and I are discussing?
