I sent an email, thanking him for mentioning Wikipedia and pointing out
that changes are made in real time. The reply I got was that he was
simplifying the explanation of the site in the interest of space. The
reason he mentioned the editorial group is because any change can be
reverted. (Though I think he thinks only sysops can revert.)
