Disagree. An article is an argument (a presentation thereof) and two people editing the same article is like two people talking at the same time, never letting the other ever talk.
With two separate articles, there is of course still interaction - but now, the two people are trying to outdo each other who has the better article. Think about THAT.
You can disagree all you like, of course, but that doesnt mean that people whove been doing this for years will all of a sudden change NPOV.
If you do have a point, its with regard to the limitations of wiki software for efficiently handling controversial extremely high-energy editing. Thats an issue for the software developers, and theyve solved a number of problems over the years with regard to this very issue.
You can pitch solutions to them (search "mediazilla" ) for how to make the software work more efficiently. They have a very efficient process for how to deal with suggestions from the general public.
You should also read up on trust metrics, as those seem to be (somewhere) in Wikipedia's future. Heres my basic breakdown of TM: http://lists.wikia.com/pipermail/campaigns-l/2006-July/000160.html
