You forget that there have been people who make their living comeing up with new tricks. You've also got the problem of the poor guy faceing a bunck of kids who know how the trick is done (kids are hard enough to deal with in any case).
Why does Wikipedia have an obligation to support the people who make their living coming up with new tricks? And if we do, why doesn't that obligation extend to supporting the people who make their living selling commercial encyclopedias?
