The idea is to build an authoritative information resource (in particular,
the goal is that the accepted answer to any given question will become the
primary result for someone Googling that same question.)  So it makes very
good sense that both questions and answers can be edited for quality, and
the result is (mostly) good.

My objection is to people gaming the system - making imperceptible edits
like dashes-to-em-dashes - in order to juice their scores.
