1) Calling something a law gives it no further credibility

2) A Wiki - an editable body of knowledge - is nothing like a discussion group. Here people don't edit out their mistakes, misunderstandings, etc. All the material stays present to cause confusion as people further down the track try to follow threads.

3) To be successful, the approach that you suggest requires a very large number of people knowledgeable about the topic. In car modification, it also helps a great deal if people have actually done a lot of testing and development of what is being discussed.

I reiterate: I think suggesting that posting incorrect information is a good idea is really dumb.
