Well, when I edited the article, (adding most of the first 20%) I did not disturb Larry's text because I knew who he was and didn't want trouble. (I found it later with him at "reality". Actually I also think his text, indeed most of his philosophical writings could probably be deleted without reducing the amount of information in the encyclopedia. However reverts have occured when his material is deleted.
Be careful, he has his supporters.

Well, if you consult Britannica what they do in philosophical articles is set forth the history of philosophical thought on a subject. Here we try, usually unsuccessully, to address the issue itself.
I argue this shouldn't be done as a principle, the articles are complicated enough. This is also a matter of quality vs quantity, I don't think the latter 80% of the "knowledge" article, adds a significant insight for the reader's understanding in proportion to the amount of text given.
