Speaking as a user who has never seen this exception before now, it's utterly inane, though, I agree, per the rules of the wiki this discussion technically should be closed immediately. (Which I guess itself raises an interesting question about whether revisiting past policy as the wiki changes would be a good idea, not as a continuous thing, but like perhaps every five years allow a debate over something to be reopened even without new evidence just as the standards for how the wiki operates change. But that's a much more complicated topic than this thread.)
