This is the heart of the issue.

Destroying something of value because it isn't as good as it should be is  
generally a bad idea. The proposed solution is sub-optimal, but letting  
the perfect be the enemy of the good is also a bad idea. Thinking through  
it carefully, and making the best of what you can actually achieve, is  
generally a good thing.

Enabling people to contribute a potential text - which should be reviewed  
before being added - is also a good thing in this scenario.
