So in other words, in urgin people to check every AFD, the project assumes good faith and poor judgement, intelligence (or both) on the part of all nominators. that's even better.
That seems a strange way to put it.
From my perspective, one of the best things about Wikipedia is the way we continually check over each other's work. The belief that other people will catch and fix my mistakes helps me be bold. As long as people honor my good faith, I'm delighted when they catch my moments of poor judgment.
