This was established to keep a lid on what is best described as “crackpot science”. It is now a more general guideline that sometimes gets in the way (2 * 2 = 4 is not really “original research”), but overall has served Wikipedia well. It seems to me the current charter proposal text is trying to go into a similar direction, which might help a lot with keeping rough consensus attainable. (And, of course, promptly it is attempted to weaken those guide rails...) Grüße, Carsten
