I think the solution here lies in CZ's other major innovation - separation of powers.  We now have constables who are independent of editors who can say "OK, this expert-edit-warring is not cool" and make it stick through the methods at their disposal (whatever they have to use against authors).  Or they can at least call in whoever is one-up the Constable chain of command (if there's someone between normal constable and Chief-Constable).

Perhaps the best solution is to have some sort of escalation mechanism, such that some articles (namely contentious ones) require 2+ editors to approve them?
