To put it simply, airline pilots are not encyclopedists. The
personality traits that make for a good pilot, for instance
split-second assessment and decision, are more likely to
generate conflicts in WP than to resolve them.

To take a different angle, you want people who are
introspective, because they're the ones who will want to
think about why they organizing information in a particular
way. You've already run into the non-introspectors; they
loudly declare that their way is the only way, and would
rather fight than figure out a compromise.
In general, we want people who are well-suited for the task
of building the information base. It doesn't do us any good
to bring in people who are ill-suited; they won't like it,
won't last long, and you probably won't like the results
of their work.
