I see a point, what we try to improve is not space or memory usage. The
point is to promote NPOV. Don't you think that the opposite of
objectivity is subjectivity, so to say being both the topic and the
writer, or the judge and the trialed. 
I don't it is possible for anyone to write about himself
«objectively» therefore the behaviour in itself is flawed. Having NPOV
articles also means promoting NPOV behaviour. 

It is my opinion and I agree with it. ;)
