We're not talking about developing policy, but about quoting it.  A 
policy page is about developing the policy.  This is about applying the 
policy as it is, right or wrong.  By your reasoning a person defending a 
case in court would not be able to quote the law in his own defence.  
Put in another way, if one of us were charged in court with copyright 
infringement he would be able to claim fair use only if he did not quote 
the relevant sections of the law.
