Face it, slogans haven't got us very far in this discussion. A "BLP that 
no one responsible has looked at" is certainly dangerous in a way that a 
"BLP that some one responsible has looked at" may not be. Your slogan 
would be less convincing in a situation where anyone responsible looking 
at an unsourced BLP took some action that included making it not totally 
unsourced. This is just a version of "many eyeballs". In the form 
"unsourced BLPs include some of the worst articles on the site" it is 
hardly even controversial.
