I agree that hard security leads to an arms race. But leaving the Wikipedia as a "soft target" with apparently magical self-healing properties should make the experience no fun for script kiddies:
- they see that "vandalism" is easy, and no
challenge
- they should also see (eventually) that it is
futile
