In fact, a person could theoretically funnel more traffic by consistently spamming Wikipedia then it would have gotten from the search results anyways.

Didn't that that was part of the process of compiling the "sum of human knowledge". Wikipedia was set up as the encyclopedia "anyone can edit". Then they began an endless process of systematically prohibiting just about everyone from editing. Wouldn't this mess have been easier if they allowed corporate entities to edit within the "rules" of building an encyclopedia? The volunteers got it into their heads, though, that Wikipedia was only for volunteers without jobs, or still in school, or with a ton of free time. That's how this encyclopedia has become the world's most irresponsible website. Sounds like Wikipedia's most active editors and admins are all about vengeance and punishment.
