No argument from me there. But that opinion on how the
3RR should work is
apparently a minority one. I base this on asking several other ArbCom members
and making an inquiry on the 3RR talk page. The rule states 'no more than 3
reverts on any page in 24 hours.' Most people take that very literally (for
better or worse). I interpret 'reverts' to be the same or substantially the
same revert. Oh well.
Yes, and there are some good reasons to interpret it fairly literally,
while at the same time leaving a little breathing room for common
sense recognition that randomly changing one irrelevant word in a
different part of the article is still a revert.
The main reason to be fairly literal about it (but not obsessively so)
is that the whole point of it is to keep enforcement simple.
