Mmmm, Larry of course does have a valid point in there, which is that 
edit warring correlates with a lower quality of article.  It looks like 
his solution is this: decide who should win the edit wars in advance. 
Bingo!  No serious edit wars.  Sadly, as this case apparently indicates, 
the syllogism that this will get you a higher quality of article isn't 
valid.  Guess what - sometimes you have to put up with the pesky 
business of people needing to argue the matter out on talk pages.
