But you're saying two totally different things there. The status quo =/= "ignorance is bliss". Rather, the status quo is "punish vandals, assume good faith with others". We are not ignorant of vandals and their acts, there is just not compelling reason to punish other users who have good intent by denying them the same right to edit that we ourselves enjoy. Disagree with the policy if you must, but do so honestly, not using misleading language such as "ignorance is bliss". Nothing could be farther from the truth.
