Agreed, wonderful analogy. Also in response to the source article, what defines a post as a "bad contribution" does this mean it was totally inappropriate or just needed slight tweaking. Has the author ever tried to make a legit new wiki post? I've never successfully posted anything without having even the slightest peer review. Who cares if the posts are almost entirely contributed by bots, just about everything is becoming automated these days (stocks, banking, traffic, etc.) and with the peer review base Wikipedia has I doubt the doomsday of robots are going to smarten up and misinform us...
