I agree with you, Charles. These fallacies are quite transparent. And it is too bad that much good effort and input to the Wikipedia initiative can be lost due to those who feel it is their to be "forthright" (wiggle word) rather than helpful. There is nothing wrong with being helpful. There is everything wrong with a nasty officious edge.
To be clear, I don't engage in these debates to diminish the community. I come in as a "policy wonk" if I feel the policy involved is being misread, too close to the letter. That's not the trouble here.
