Naturally. But that isn't an answer to the point I was making. If someone wants to say that "PWD is terrible because there would be edit wars" they have to explain why deletion edit wars would be any more horrible than content or vandalism edit wars. We can handle the last two well enough; what's wrong with the first? It just doesn't explain the basis for the judgment that deletion ought to be treated differently from other edits.

Sure we can deal with vandalism and edit wars, but those are nearly unavoidable. Deletion wars can be avoided. Sure we can deal with them, but why create them if they're avoidable in the first place?
