I think that's an overstatement - it sometimes doesn't work, which is
quite distinct from "never works". If we'd tried putting in BLP rules
that *weren't* just our usual rules only without the eventualist
element, it would have failed to take with the people actually doing
the work, and resulted in lower quality articles.
