If we follow the severely restrictive approach to "original research" that some people are proposing our encyclopedia would be full of nothing but dumbed-down pap.
It's not a proposal, it's an existing policy, and, when applied, it is helping save the encyclopedia from being a repository for crank theories and arguments presented as fact. The notion that it will somehow create an encyclopedia filled with " nothing but dumbed-down pap" is a bald assertion which has no basis in reality.
