The "unique experiment" is that, if you're persistent enough, you get your way.
This is an interesting philosophical thought. Michael getting "his way" would be being un-banned and gaining access to editing Wikipedia. Jimmy getting "his way" would be having Michael become a well-behaved and respected contributor. Both are being persistent. There is no conflict in having both "get their way". They meet nicely in the middle.
