That however encourages canvassing, and groups protecting unworthy articles, or even attacking things that group dislikes. People should judge carefully enough to be able to say why it's stupid. ~~~~

It's not a discussion, people are voting without actually addressing each other's concerns.
Worshipping rules is stupid. That includes the endless "!vote" stupidness. :)
If you ask 1,000 people the question, "Is subject x stupid?" and 800 of 1000 say, "Why yes, yes it is quite stupid!" Odds are it's stupid. Slavishly insisting that each of them defend their opinions to discuss is just an excuse to discuss for the sake of discussing, and a waste of discussion and everyone's time. If something hurts the encyclopedia, what's there to discuss?
