Let me just point out that I never stated the above in the first place.  
The average user hasn't even figured out how to use the <ref> system, and 
probably less than ten percent understand {templates} at all even to include 
them, let alone to edit them.

So I would never advocate a system where the average person can do it.
Rather I would advocate a system which is as easy to use as we can make it. 
 Not as hard as we can imagine it.
