Then what you're proposing really isn't a wiki.  Ease of editing is
what makes a wiki a wiki, and your "editing by replacement" that
requires any edits to require rerecording the entire signed video is
not "easy" by any stretch of the imagination.

On top of that, I'm still not clear on how a person with at most a 4th
grade reading level is going to use the website.
