In fact, the very fact that you turned a non-ambiguous scenario into an ambiguous scenario is evidence that the process itself is far too ambiguous. It's not just you; I have not gotten 1 straight answer on this. Are we not supposed to be judging and reporting on the facts as they are, not as we think they should be?~~~~Pro-Lick

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a socially defined collection of original research.
"In particular, to elaborate on the last comment above, if you are able to prove something that nobody currently believes, Wikipedia is not the place to premiere such a proof." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view#Undue_weight In other words, there is even less need for social interaction. No need to petition funding for a laboratory to test a hypothesis. No questions about which researcher should have his name placed first next to a theory.
It seems the policies and problems of the foundation in general (i.e., which projects and enhancements to fund, which gets a new server, which gets a new lawyer, etc.) are being confused with those of the encylopedia itself. Yet another area in need of clarification, not ambiguity.~~~~Pro-Lick
