I think it ought to be trialled. We're all making a lot of assumptions about what would happen if paid editing were to occur. Why not do a trial on a couple of articles, and monitor but not interfere with the article over a period of a few months?
It would be totally unacceptable to take the position that an article being worked on by a paid editor could not be edited by anyone else during that time.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Steve, but I rather assumed "interfere" in this context meant "block the editors who admit to being paid", not "allow others to edit the article too".
Personally, I'm rather in favor of such an experiment. It's not as if it could possibly make things that much worse than they already are.
