Something will be made, yes, but that something may be difficult to build  
upon - in terms of content, functionality, structure, policies - and grow  
into something tremendously more useful. That is the crux of my argument.

If you can convince the others (vote, consensus etc.) that we should set  
up a blank wiki now and add all the other functionality later, regardless  
of all the problems that may ensue, then I will follow along, but my  
position remains that we should properly plan and develop a basic set of  
features before publicly launching this project with great fanfare, to  
make sure that we have a solid foundation to build on, and that we get the  
greatest possible interest in the important early stage of content  
development.
