I think this is overly pessamistic and does not agree with my experience.
People who form a Project that invariably will attract people who "belong" 
in the sense you suggest, step over backwards to ensure that their local
guidelines fit the core policies. They are often more critical of
articles on non-notable topics than other editors might be.  I think we
should all accept good faith here. I much bigger problem is the way some
editors who do not understand the topic really muck up the article. They
can join a Project but the Project will sort them out.
