That's not always true. I've talked in the past about how ultimately, allowing users to interact first and edit later will still increase the total editing base. I've cited my home wiki as a big example of this. Most of the active editing community at present started with commenting and started editing later after acclimatising to the facility. Personally, I'm in the same boat as you, Ajr, but doesn't casting the net wider net more fish in the end?
