Your solution to the "dilemma" I posed fails to take the bull by the horns.
Our goal is NOT to build a free Wiki encyclopedia, but rather to build a free encyclopedia. Our choice of the Wiki Way is a means to the end, not an end in itself.
Hardly. There's a reason this is called "Wikipedia". The Wiki software is what distinguishes this project from other projects such as Nupedia, which also had the goal to build a free encyclopedia.
Did you mean to say "Our goal is to build a free encyclopedia. Therefore, we use Wiki software." instead of "We are building a free encyclopedia. Therefore, we use Wiki software."

They don't mean the same thing.
