Sadly, I think enthusiasm for accusations is likely to lead to COI being 
overused against experts. What is required to establish COI in our sense 
is a sustained demonstration that they have an agenda in editing that is 
clearly at odds with the encyclopedia's best interests. Not that they 
can't guess where lines someone else is drawing for the playing area run.
