Actually my conclusion is the opposite, from more or less the same
set of
observations.
The problem is that this leads to an inclusionist position with a
substantial and non-trivial exclusionist force that goes and mucks
things up. The result is, I think, bad, and bad in a way that is
still exclusionist. The result is that, instead of a consistent
exclusionism, we have an inconsistent one - some number of articles
will get deleted, those articles will stay deleted regardless of the
arguments to the contrary, and those articles will be selected more
or less at random.
