But you do agree that it is easier to curate articles by updating one value in a database
than updating the value separately everywhere it appears?

No, I strongly disagree with this. I think the functionality of being
able to curate the page Wikipedia editors care for should have highest
priority. I believe it is very important to make Wikidata palatable to
the people Wikipedia depends upon. Reducing clutter is nice, but
avoiding to loose transparency and trust is essential.
