I don't think there's a difference between my position and the  
position of editors supporting WP:V, except insofar as I don't think  
WP:V should rely on such an obviously broken page as WP:RS (Something  
you apparently agree about). Once the problems with our definitions  
of sources are settled, I may be able to more usefully articulate  
this. But as long as there's such serious doubt over our definition  
of WP:RS, we have to recognize that WP:V is, while necessary, also  
not currently in a functional form.
