This is interesting - is there some real statistic on how watched articles are? I'm affraid there may be tens of thousand virtually unwatched articles no active wikipedians care about.
I think it would be excellent for us to study this. What I have long dreamed of is a regularly published list of "the most read / least watched articles". Take the number of pageviews divided by the number of watchers (plus one to prevent division by zero I guess). Or some more sophisticated variant of that to take into account minimum thresholds of concern perhaps.
Unfortunately the pageview statistics are turned off :(
