But if you cut off the bottom few rungs of a ladder, then nobody will
ever be able to climb it. There may be a lot of topics on which
there will some day be a really great article if you let somebody
start with a crappy article, and others improve into a slightly less
crappy article, and so on. If you have unreasonably high standards
from the start, then no article will even get started.
We need a reality check here, folks.
Perhaps your reality check just bounced... :-)
