Precis: experts are not a panacea.
Mmmm, Larry of course does have a valid point in there, which is that edit warring correlates with a lower quality of article. It looks like his solution is this: decide who should win the edit wars in advance. Bingo! No serious edit wars. Sadly, as this case apparently indicates, the syllogism that this will get you a higher quality of article isn't valid. Guess what - sometimes you have to put up with the pesky business of people needing to argue the matter out on talk pages.
