You would end up with different articles on the same subject contradicting each other.
Is this necessarily a problem?
Yes. If two articles on the same subject contradict each other, then either we haven't done a proper NPOV job in writing them, or one is wrong.
I don't agree with that premise. Different writers will have different information and will produce divergent articles that may be reasonably NPOV. There is no perfect NPOV article on any subject, so NPOV articles on the same subject will naturally differ according to their editors. As I said in an earlier email, I think the "too few eyes" argument convinces me. I think divergence could be an asset if we could learn how to harness it.
