I didn't add that phrase to V. Someone suggested it in 2004 during a reorganization of NOR, and I added it there. (But they suggested it because it is what we were already doing.)

We report what good sources are saying, and we leave it to the readers to decide what to believe.
Sorry - I was unclear. You were the one who added it to the draft of NOR in 2004 (though I can't find where the suggestion was originally made).
What you added to WP:V was a change from "Wikipedia strives to be accurate" to "Wikipedia strives to be reliable. That was this edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Verifiability&diff=2...
So you were the one who removed accuracy from WP:V.
Which, actually, I'm also curious what you meant by.
