I really can't agree.  There are so many exceptions.

For example, this morning I was linking instances of [[livability]], which I 
had made a redirect to [[quality of life]].  It would have been about the 
same effort to paste [[quality of life|livability]] in each case.  But 
suppose tomorrow someone second-guesses me, says that 'livability' doesn't 
really mean close enough to 'quality of life', it's about amenities or 
something.  If I _had_ piped each link there would be the whole backlink 
list of [[quality of life]] to look through, rather than a perfectly simple 
case of unpick the redirect, start a fresh page.

These tidy-minded things often have little to do with the real issues in 
writing a dynamic 'Pedia.
