Why? If they define an article "A blog of John Ass", I just won't read it and my experience would not degrade.

I still get nuclear physics in "Nuclear Physics" article, amn't I?

I can't see how having more articles will make things worse.

Not at the same level of quality, because they also won't be deleting the nonsense crank pseudo-science version of "Nuclear Physics" which would confuse you terribly. Deleting crap is one of the best ways to make the project as a whole useful.

Well, I won't read that version, I'll only read the "real" one.

Bonus points: journalists and common folk will stop pretending everything in wikipedia is true like they do now.

You won't know which is which unless you already know enough to not need to look it up in a general reference such as Wikipedia. That's the point.
