Gee, or perhaps you could not revert war. It's possible!
I assume you mean "you" in the general sense, like if one said "one" instead. Otherwise I have to point out that that was a sarcastic translation that paraphrases the editing patterns of some else. And by someone else I mean "not me", not "someone else other than you." Whew. Got that cleared up... :)
But yes, that is the point, and I was noting to Greg offlist... the real issue is decreasing partisanship. Before there were these committees people would step in and sort things out. Partisans had to stop editing the article. Moderates would help out by translating, representing, and cooperating from the two general POVs.
Thats what was totally missing, and 3RR, as much as I hate it at least stops those 28 reverts in a row edit wars. But it shifts the emphasis from "lets cooperate" to a game of "dont go over the line or you'll get zapped." Hence its just as childish.
