I'm not sure what's tricky to understand about this: you have to understand why the fence was put up in the first place before you can safely knock it down. That's it; that's the whole fence. If you want to understand Wikipedia's policies, go read them. They're extensively documented. You can't just make up what you think the rationales for these policies are, knock those false rationales down, and claim you've made any kind of actual argument; you're literally just arguing with yourself.
