Plus, reasonable people disagree on what is
reasonable. I think an article about a school is a
reasonable thing for an encyclopedia that has no space
concerns, other people (who appear to me to be
otherwise reasonable) think that this is totally
unreasonable. We need policies to mediate so that
things like vfd are not used as a battleground.

This statement has a big assumption behind her: That
*all* people who are in
WP are reasonable, intelligent, good and can
exercise their freedom in the
right way.
Policy, law, leaders, etc are the partial solutions
that society has found to
help solving the problem of unavailability of
reasonable, intelligent and
good humans.
If you wanted WP to become a place run by reasonable
people and not by policy,
you would need to transform it into an "elite club"
where only reasonable
people can join.
