Characters that switch around, sit in grey areas, or are just plain ambiguous, left such entries open to interpretation. And it's that point that people are updating not so much by documenting what has been portrayed, but documenting a personal interpretation of what has been portrayed. The net result is that some articles have been flipped back and forth quite a lot.

You're right in suggesting that policy could legislate the problem to a lesser state, but as we've seen on the Marvel Database (and other wikis) policies frequently get ignored and that just causes more revert edits. And it is revert edits that people here are trying to cut down on.
