Certainly - I've even read the book I co-authored which mentions this 
fact. The point I was trying to make is more like "if you bolt a 
community like a wiki onto Nupedia-like processes, you can expect a sort 
of social sclerosis which is not unlike a generic online community that 
works but with a rigidity about its hierarchy". Which turns a more 
standard MeatballWiki analysis like 
http://meatballwiki.org/wiki/CommunityMayNotScale on its head, actually.
