This makes a lot of sense, because Wikipedia editors have a lot of problems with flexibility.
They don't like newer sources even when they are clearly better and more accurate than older sources.
They don't like people who are experts to contribute to articles because it infringes on their territory and they don't like to admit they know less than the professional.
The wikipedia editing system is Byzantine and there are a lot of layers you have to go through. This eats up a lot of time and prevents a lot of experts from contributing because they don't have the time to deal with it.
Wikipedia is good for basic definitions, but it needs more flexibility.
