Interesting thoughts on quality.
I'm not sure that I agree with his assessment that Wikipedia's quality will necessarily be poor because of all the cruft, but I wouldn't disregard it.
Wikipedia is operating on the Internet equivalent of the quote often (mis)attributed to Nathan Bedford Forrest, "git thar fustest with the mostest."
It's obviously worked in some senses - we have the mostest, and are farther along than anyone else, at the moment. But the future may hold benefits for other models.
