Just allowing people to report errors isn't a problem. The problems are acting on those reports without first verifying the true facts, and removing entire articles simply because some of the facts in that article are inaccurate.
If someone removes information from an article and states on the Talk page that it is incorrect, it tends to stay out. If an edit war ensues the article tends to get protected. I really don't see any difference in principle.
I think there's a fundamental difference between removing a disputed sentence and "blank and rewrite with proper cites". The latter might be quick and easy, but it also fails to assume good faith.
